• Dynamics 365 revenue increased 18%. • Azure and other cloud services revenue increased 41%. • Windows OEM and Devices revenue decreased slightly. • XBOX content and services revenue decreased 5%. • Search advertising (formerly Search and news advertising) revenue excluding traffic acquisition costs increased 12%. Industry Trends and Opportunities Our industry is dynamic and highly competitive, with frequent changes in both technologies and business models. Each industry shift is an opportunity to conceive new products, new technologies, or new ideas that can further transform the industry and our business. At Microsoft, we push the boundaries of what is possible through a broad range of research and development activities that seek to identify and address the changing demands of customers and users, industry trends, and competitive forces. We have a long-term strategic partnership with OpenAI which was originally established in 2019. In October 2025 and April 2026, we extended this partnership and continue to build on our shared vision to advance artificial intelligence responsibly and make its benefits broadly accessible. Microsoft is a major investor in OpenAI and will continue to receive revenue-sharing payments. We hold rights to OpenAI’s intellectual property, including models and infrastructure, for integration into our products. 34 PART II Item 7 Economic Conditions, Challenges, and Risks The markets for software, devices, and cloud-based services are dynamic and highly competitive. Our competitors are developing new software and devices, while also deploying competing cloud-based services for consumers and businesses. The devices and form factors customers prefer evolve rapidly, influencing how users access services in the cloud and, in some cases, the user’s choice of which suite of cloud-based services to use. Aggregate demand for our software, services, and devices is also correlated to global macroeconomic and geopolitical factors, which remain dynamic. We must continue to evolve and adapt over an extended time in pace with this changing environment. The investments we are making in cloud and AI infrastructure and devices will continue to increase our operating costs and may decrease our operating margins. We continue to identify and evaluate opportunities to expand our datacenter locations and increase our server capacity to meet the evolving needs of our customers, particularly given the growing demand for AI services. Our datacenters depend on the availability of permitted and buildable land, predictable energy, networking supplies, and servers, including graphics processing units and other components. Our devices are primarily manufactured by third-party contract manufacturers. For the majority of our products, we have the ability to use other manufacturers if a current vendor becomes unavailable or unable to meet our requirements. However, some of our products contain certain components for which there are very few qualified suppliers. Extended or unforeseen disruptions, or limited availability of components from these suppliers could impact our ability to operate our datacenters and manufacture devices on time to meet consumer demand. Our success is highly dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified employees. We hire a mix of university and industry talent worldwide. We compete for talented individuals globally by offering an exceptional working environment, broad customer reach, scale in resources, the ability to grow one’s career across many different products and businesses, and competitive compensation and benefits. Our international operations provide a significant portion of our total revenue and expenses. Many of these revenue and expenses are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, changes in foreign exchange rates may significantly affect revenue and expenses. Fluctuations in the U.S. dollar relative to certain foreign currencies increased reported revenue and did not have a material impact on reported expenses from our international operations in fiscal year 2026. Further, global, regional, and local economic developments and changes in global trade policies such as restrictions on international trade, including tariffs and other controls on imports or exports, could result in increased supply chain challenges, cost volatility, and consumer and economic uncertainty which may adversely affect our results of operations. Refer to Risk Factors (Part I, Item 1A of this Form 10-K) for a discussion of these factors and other risks. Seasonality Our revenue fluctuates quarterly and is generally higher in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year. Fourth quarter revenue is driven by a higher volume of multi-year contracts executed during the period. Reportable Segments We report our financial performance based on the following three segments: Productivity and Business Processes, Intelligent Cloud, and More Personal Computing. The segment amounts included in MD&A are presented on a basis consistent with our internal management reporting. Additional information on our reportable segments is contained in Note 18 – Segment Information and Geographic Data of the Notes to Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K). 35 PART II Item 7 Metrics We use metrics in assessing the performance of our business and to make informed decisions regarding the allocation of resources. We disclose metrics to enable investors to evaluate progress against our ambitions, provide transparency into performance trends, and reflect the continued evolution of our products and services. Our commercial and other business metrics are fundamentally connected based on how customers use our products and services. The metrics are disclosed in the MD&A or the Notes to Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K). Financial metrics are calculated based on financial results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and growth comparisons relate to the corresponding period of last fiscal year. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, we made updates to our metrics to align with how we manage and monitor certain businesses. As part of these updates, Microsoft 365 Consumer subscribers was removed as a metric. Commercial Our commercial business primarily consists of Server products and cloud services, Microsoft 365 Commercial products and cloud services, the commercial portion of LinkedIn, Dynamics products and cloud services, and Enterprise and partner services. Our commercial metrics allow management and investors to assess the overall health of our commercial business and include leading indicators of future performance. Commercial remaining performance obligation Commercial portion of revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations, which includes unearned revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods Microsoft Cloud revenue and revenue growth Revenue from Microsoft 365 Commercial cloud, Azure and other cloud services, the commercial portion of LinkedIn, and Dynamics 365 Microsoft Cloud gross margin percentage Gross margin percentage for our Microsoft Cloud business Productivity and Business Processes and Intelligent Cloud Metrics related to our Productivity and Business Processes and Intelligent Cloud segments assess the health of our core businesses within these segments.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET The components of other income (expense), net were as follows: (In millions) Year Ended June 30, 2026 2025 Interest and dividends income $ 3,301 $ 2,647 Interest expense (3,051 ) (2,385 ) Net recognized gains (losses) on investments 4,385 (349 ) Net gains (losses) on derivatives 1,867 (260 ) Net gains (losses) on foreign currency remeasurements (527 ) 171 Other, net 4,722 (4,725 ) Total $ 10,697 $ (4,901 ) We use derivative instruments to manage risks related to foreign currencies, interest rates, equity prices, and credit; to enhance investment returns; and to facilitate portfolio diversification. Gains and losses from changes in fair values of derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments are primarily recognized in other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net included $6.5 billion of net gains and $4.8 billion of net losses for fiscal years 2026 and 2025, respectively, from investments in OpenAI, primarily net recognized gains (losses) on our equity method investment reflected in Other, net. The net gains recorded for fiscal year 2026 primarily relate to the dilution gain from the OpenAI Recapitalization. Fiscal Year 2026 Compared with Fiscal Year 2025 Interest and dividends income increased primarily due to higher portfolio balances and higher yields on debt securities. Interest expense increased primarily due to higher finance lease interest expense, offset in part by higher capitalization of debt interest expense. Net recognized gains on investments increased primarily due to higher gains on equity securities and lower impairments in the current period. Net gains on derivatives increased primarily due to gains on equity derivatives in the current period as compared to losses in the prior period. Other, net primarily reflects net recognized gains on equity method investments, including OpenAI. INCOME TAXES Effective Tax Rate Our effective tax rate for fiscal years 2026 and 2025 was 19% and 18%, respectively. The increase in our effective tax rate was primarily due to changes in the mix of our earnings and tax expenses between the U.S. and foreign countries. Our effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate, primarily due to earnings taxed at lower rates in foreign jurisdictions resulting from producing and distributing our products and services through our foreign regional operations center in Ireland. The mix of income before income taxes between the U.S. and foreign countries impacted our effective tax rate as a result of the geographic distribution of, and customer demand for, our products and services. In fiscal year 2026, our U.S. income before income taxes was $103.6 billion and our foreign income before income taxes was $62.3 billion. In fiscal year 2025, our U.S. income before income taxes was $69.2 billion and our foreign income before income taxes was $54.4 billion. 41 PART II Item 7 Uncertain Tax Positions We remain under audit by the IRS for tax years 2014 to 2017. With respect to the audit for tax years 2004 to 2013, on September 26, 2023, we received Notices of Proposed Adjustment (“NOPAs”) from the IRS. The primary issues in the NOPAs relate to intercompany transfer pricing. In the NOPAs, the IRS is seeking an additional tax payment of $28.9 billion plus penalties and interest. As of June 30, 2026, we believe our allowances for income tax contingencies are adequate. We disagree with the proposed adjustments and will vigorously contest the NOPAs through the IRS’s administrative appeals office and, if necessary, judicial proceedings. We are subject to income tax in many jurisdictions outside the U.S., some of which are currently under audit by local tax authorities. The resolution of these audits is not expected to be material to our consolidated financial statements. Our operations in Ireland remain subject to examination for tax years 2021 and thereafter. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES Adjusted other income (expense), net, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures which exclude net (gains) losses from investments in OpenAI. We believe these non-GAAP measures aid investors by providing additional insight into our financial performance and help clarify trends affecting our business. For comparability of reporting, management considers non-GAAP measures in conjunction with GAAP financial results in evaluating business performance. These non-GAAP financial measures presented should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following table reconciles our financial results reported in accordance with GAAP to non-GAAP financial results: (In millions, except percentages and per share amounts) 2026 2025 2024 Percentage Change 2026 Versus 2025 Percentage Change 2025 Versus 2024 Other income (expense), net $ 10,697 $ (4,901 ) $ (1,646 ) 318% (198)% Net (gains) losses from investments in OpenAI (6,530 ) 4,763 1,482 (237)% 221% Adjusted other income (expense), net (non-GAAP) $ 4,167 $ (138 ) $ (164 ) 3,120% 16% Net income $ 133,749 $ 101,832 $ 88,136 31% 16% Net (gains) losses from investments in OpenAI, net of tax of $1,567 , $(1,143), and $(356) (4,963 ) 3,620 1,126 (237)% 221% Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) $ 128,786 $ 105,452 $ 89,262 22% 18% Diluted earnings per share $ 17.95 $ 13.64 $ 11.80 32% 16% Net (gains) losses from investments in OpenAI (0.67 ) 0.49 0.15 (237)% 227% Adjusted diluted earnings per share (non-GAAP) $ 17.28 $ 14.13 $ 11.95 22% 18% LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We expect existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, cash flows from operations, and access to capital markets to continue to be sufficient to fund our operating activities and cash commitments for investing and financing activities, such as dividends, share repurchases, debt maturities, and material capital expenditures, for at least the next 12 months and thereafter for the foreseeable future. 42 PART II Item 7 Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Investments Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments totaled $76.8 billion and $94.6 billion as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Equity and other investments were $36.3 billion and $15.4 billion as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our short-term investments are primarily intended to facilitate liquidity and capital preservation. They consist predominantly of highly liquid investment-grade fixed-income securities, diversified among industries and individual issuers. The investments are predominantly U.S. dollar-denominated securities, but also include foreign currency-denominated securities to diversify risk. Our fixed-income investments are exposed to interest rate risk and credit risk. The credit risk and average maturity of our fixed-income portfolio are managed to achieve economic returns that correlate to certain fixed-income indices. The settlement risk related to these investments is insignificant given that the short-term investments held are primarily highly liquid investment-grade fixed-income securities. Valuation In general, and where applicable, we use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities to determine the fair value of our financial instruments. This pricing methodology applies to our Level 1 investments, such as U.S. government securities, common and preferred stock, and mutual funds. If quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities are not available to determine fair value, then we use quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities or inputs other than the quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly. This pricing methodology applies to our Level 2 investments, such as commercial paper, certificates of deposit, U.S. agency securities, foreign government bonds, mortgage- and asset-backed securities, corporate notes and bonds, and municipal securities. Level 3 investments are valued using internally-developed models with unobservable inputs. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs are an immaterial portion of our portfolio. A majority of our investments are priced by pricing vendors and are generally Level 1 or Level 2 investments as these vendors either provide a quoted market price in an active market or use observable inputs for their pricing without applying significant adjustments. Broker pricing is used mainly when a quoted price is not available, the investment is not priced by our pricing vendors, or when a broker price is more reflective of fair values in the market in which the investment trades. Our broker-priced investments are generally classified as Level 2 investments because the broker prices these investments based on similar assets without applying significant adjustments. In addition, all our broker-priced investments have a sufficient level of trading volume to demonstrate that the fair values used are appropriate for these investments. Our fair value processes include controls that are designed to ensure appropriate fair values are recorded. These controls include model validation, review of key model inputs, analysis of period-over-period fluctuations, and independent recalculation of prices where appropriate. Cash Flows Cash from operations increased $46.8 billion to $182.9 billion for fiscal year 2026, primarily due to an increase in cash received from customers and a decrease in cash used to pay income taxes, offset in part by an increase in cash paid to suppliers. Cash used in financing increased $847 million to $52.5 billion for fiscal year 2026, primarily due to a $6.0 billion decrease in cash used for repayments of debt, offset in part by a $3.9 billion increase in common stock repurchases and a $2.4 billion increase in dividends paid. Cash used in investing increased $66.9 billion to $139.5 billion for fiscal year 2026, primarily due to a $51.4 billion increase in additions to property and equipment and a $22.2 billion increase in cash used in other investing primarily to facilitate the purchase of components, offset in part by a $4.2 billion decrease in cash used in the acquisition of companies, net of cash acquired and divestitures, and purchases of intangible and other assets and a $2.4 billion decrease in cash used in net investment purchases, sales, and maturities. Debt Proceeds We issue debt to take advantage of favorable pricing and liquidity in the debt markets, reflecting our credit rating. The proceeds of these issuances were or will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, funding for working capital, capital expenditures, repurchases of capital stock, acquisitions, and repayment of existing debt. Refer to Note 10 – Debt of the Notes to Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K). 43 PART II Item 7 Unearned Revenue Unearned revenue comprises mainly unearned revenue related to volume licensing programs, which may include cloud services and Software Assurance (“SA”). Unearned revenue is generally invoiced annually at the beginning of each contract period for multi-year agreements and recognized ratably over the coverage period. Unearned revenue also includes payments for other offerings for which we have been paid in advance and earn the revenue when we transfer control of the product or service. Refer to Note 1 – Accounting Policies of the Notes to Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K). The following table outlines the expected future recognition of unearned revenue as of June 30, 2026: (In millions) Three Months Ending September 30, 2026 $ 28,589 December 31, 2026 22,556 March 31, 2027 15,457 June 30, 2027 6,363 Thereafter 2,747 Total $ 75,712 If our customers choose to license cloud-based versions of our products and services rather than licensing transaction-based products and services, the associated revenue will shift from being recognized at the time of the transaction to being recognized over the subscription period or upon consumption, as applicable. Refer to Note 12 – Unearned Revenue of the Notes to Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K).

(d) Purchase commitments primarily relate to datacenters and include open purchase orders and take-or-pay contracts that are not presented as construction commitments above. Share Repurchases During fiscal years 2026 and 2025, we repurchased 36 million shares and 31 million shares of our common stock for $16.7 billion and $13.0 billion, respectively, through our share repurchase program. All repurchases were made using cash resources. As of June 30, 2026, $40.6 billion remained of our $60 billion share repurchase program. Refer to Note 15 – Stockholders’ Equity of the Notes to Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K). 44 PART II Item 7 Dividends During fiscal years 2026 and 2025, our Board of Directors declared dividends totaling $27.0 billion and $24.7 billion, respectively. We intend to continue returning capital to shareholders in the form of dividends, subject to declaration by our Board of Directors. Refer to Note 15 – Stockholders’ Equity of the Notes to Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K). Other Planned Uses of Capital We will continue to invest in sales, marketing, product support infrastructure, and existing and advanced areas of technology, as well as acquisitions that align with our business strategy. Additions to property and equipment will continue, including new facilities, datacenters, and computer systems for research and development, sales and marketing, support, and administrative staff. We will continue to invest in capital expenditures to support growth in our cloud offerings and our investments in AI training and other infrastructure. We have operating and finance leases for datacenters and related infrastructure, servers and network equipment, corporate offices, and research and development facilities. We have not engaged in any related party transactions or arrangements with unconsolidated entities or other persons that are reasonably likely to materially affect liquidity or the availability of capital resources. RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE Refer to Note 1 – Accounting Policies of the Notes to Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K). CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Preparing consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Critical accounting estimates are those estimates that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and could have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We have critical accounting estimates in the areas of revenue recognition, measurement and impairment of investment securities, goodwill, research and development costs, legal and other contingencies, and income taxes. Revenue Recognition Our contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. When a cloud-based service includes both on-premises software licenses and cloud services, judgment is required to determine whether the software license is considered distinct and accounted for separately, or not distinct and accounted for together with the cloud service and recognized over time. Certain cloud services, primarily Office 365, depend on a significant level of integration, interdependency, and interrelation between the desktop applications and cloud services, and are accounted for together as one performance obligation. Revenue from Office 365 is recognized ratably over the period in which the cloud services are provided. Judgment is required to determine the standalone selling price (“SSP”) for each distinct performance obligation. We use a single amount to estimate SSP for items that are not sold separately, including on-premises licenses sold with SA or software updates provided at no additional charge. We use a range of amounts to estimate SSP when we sell each of the products and services separately and need to determine whether there is a discount to be allocated based on the relative SSP of the various products and services. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as when we do not sell the product or service separately, we determine the SSP using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs. We typically have more than one SSP for individual products and services due to the stratification of those products and services by customers and circumstances. In these instances, we may use information such as the size of the customer and geographic region in determining the SSP. Due to the various benefits from and the nature of our SA program, judgment is required to assess the pattern of delivery, including the exercise pattern of certain benefits across our portfolio of customers. 45 PART II Item 7 Our products are generally sold with a right of return, we may provide other credits or incentives, and in certain instances we estimate customer usage of our products and services, which are accounted for as variable consideration when determining the amount of revenue to recognize. Returns and credits are estimated at contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting period if additional information becomes available. Changes to our estimated variable consideration were not material for the periods presented. Remaining performance obligations represent the revenue we expect to recognize for our products and services for which control has not yet been transferred to customers. We estimate total consideration to be received at the outset of the agreement and throughout the term of the agreement. Estimating the total consideration and revenue that will be allocated to remaining performance obligation can involve significant judgments, including identifying and assessing variable consideration and potential renegotiation of commitments. We consider factors such as the nature of the terms and duration of the contract across our portfolio of contracts. Measurement and Impairment of Investment Securities Investments purchased by Microsoft are typically accounted for as available-for-sale debt securities, equity investments with readily determinable fair values, or equity investments without readily determinable fair values measured using either the equity method when required or at cost less impairments, if any, with adjustments for observable changes in price (referred to as the measurement alternative). Equity method investments may be recorded on a lag of up to three months when sufficient financial information is not available in a timely manner. For equity method investments recorded on a lag, we recognize the impact of intervening events that have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements in the period in which they occurred. We review debt investments quarterly for credit losses and impairment. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, we evaluate, among other factors, general market conditions, credit quality of debt instrument issuers, and the extent to which the fair value is less than cost. This determination requires significant judgment. In making this judgment, we employ a systematic methodology that considers available quantitative and qualitative evidence in evaluating potential impairment of our investments. In addition, we consider specific adverse conditions related to the financial health of, and business outlook for, the investee. If we have plans to sell the security or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery, then a decline in fair value below cost is recorded as an impairment charge in other income (expense), net and a new cost basis in the investment is established. If market, industry, and/or investee conditions deteriorate, we may incur future impairments. For equity investments accounted for under the measurement alternative, we evaluate whether observable changes in price have occurred in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. This determination requires judgment in evaluating whether transactions are orderly and whether the securities are comparable, including consideration of the rights and preferences of the securities, investor composition, and other relevant facts and circumstances. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are written down to fair value if a qualitative assessment indicates that the investment is impaired and the fair value of the investment is less than carrying value. We perform a qualitative assessment on a periodic basis. We are required to estimate the fair value of the investment to determine the amount of the impairment loss. Once an investment is determined to be impaired, an impairment charge is recorded in other income (expense), net. Goodwill We allocate goodwill to reporting units based on the reporting unit expected to benefit from the business combination. We evaluate our reporting units on an annual basis and, if necessary, reassign goodwill using a relative fair value allocation approach. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis (May 1) and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, or sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit. 46 PART II Item 7 Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. The fair value of each reporting unit is estimated primarily through the use of a discounted cash flow methodology. This analysis requires significant judgments, including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for our business, the period over which cash flows are expected to be generated, and determination of our weighted average cost of capital. The estimates used to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit change from year to year based on operating results, market conditions, and other factors. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and goodwill impairment for each reporting unit. Research and Development Costs Costs incurred internally in researching and developing a software product to be marketed or sold to external users are charged to expense until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Once technological feasibility is established, software costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. Judgment is required in determining when technological feasibility of a product is established. We have determined that technological feasibility for our software products is reached after all high-risk development issues have been resolved through coding and testing. Generally, this occurs shortly before the products are released to production. The amortization of these costs is included in cost of revenue over the estimated life of the products. Legal and Other Contingencies The outcomes of legal proceedings and claims brought against us are subject to significant uncertainty. An estimated loss from a loss contingency such as a legal proceeding or claim is accrued by a charge to income if it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In determining whether a loss should be accrued we evaluate, among other factors, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss. Changes in these factors could materially impact our consolidated financial statements. Income Taxes The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year, and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Accounting literature also provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and income tax disclosures. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Variations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences could materially impact our consolidated financial statements. 47 PART II Item 7 STATEMENT OF MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Management is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and related information that are presented in this report. The consolidated financial statements, which include amounts based on management’s estimates and judgments, have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company designs and maintains accounting and internal control systems to provide reasonable assurance at reasonable cost that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that the financial records are reliable for preparing consolidated financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets. These systems are augmented by written policies, an organizational structure providing division of responsibilities, careful selection and training of qualified personnel, and a program of internal audits. The Company engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, to audit and render an opinion on the consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). The Board of Directors, through its Audit Committee, consisting solely of independent directors of the Company, meets periodically with management, internal auditors, and our independent registered public accounting firm to ensure that each is meeting its responsibilities and to discuss matters concerning internal controls and financial reporting. Deloitte & Touche LLP and the internal auditors each have full and free access to the Audit Committee. Satya Nadella Chief Executive Officer Amy E.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITAT IVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK RISKS We are exposed to economic risk from foreign exchange rates, interest rates, credit risk, and equity prices. We use derivatives instruments to manage these risks, however, they may still impact our consolidated financial statements. Foreign Currencies Certain forecasted transactions, assets, and liabilities are exposed to foreign currency risk. We monitor our foreign currency exposures daily to maximize the economic effectiveness of our foreign currency positions, including hedges. Principal currency exposures include the Euro, Japanese yen, British pound, Canadian dollar, and Australian dollar. Interest Rate Securities held in our fixed-income portfolio are subject to different interest rate risks based on their maturities. We manage the average maturity of the fixed-income portfolio to achieve economic returns that correlate to certain global fixed-income indices. Credit Our fixed-income portfolio is diversified and consists primarily of investment-grade securities. We manage credit exposures relative to broad-based indices to facilitate portfolio diversification. Equity Securities held in our equity investments portfolio are subject to price risk.

Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Microsoft Corporation and its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Recast of Certain Prior Period Information We have recast certain prior period amounts on our consolidated cash flows statements to conform to the current period presentation. The recast of these prior period amounts had no impact on our consolidated balance sheets, consolidated income statements, or net cash from (used in) operations, investing, or financing on our consolidated cash flows statements. Estimates and Assumptions Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Examples of estimates and assumptions include: for revenue recognition, determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, and determining the standalone selling price (“SSP”) of performance obligations, variable consideration, and other obligations such as product returns and refunds; loss contingencies; the fair value of and/or potential impairment of goodwill and intangible assets for our reporting units; product life cycles; useful lives of our tangible and intangible assets; allowances for doubtful accounts; stock-based compensation forfeiture rates; when technological feasibility is achieved for our products; the potential outcome of uncertain tax positions that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns; and determining the timing and amount of measurement adjustments or impairments for investments. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties. Foreign Currencies Assets and liabilities recorded in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are recorded to other comprehensive income. Revenue Product Revenue and Service and Other Revenue Product revenue includes sales from operating systems, server applications, business solution applications, software development tools, desktop and server management tools, video games, and hardware such as PCs, tablets, gaming and entertainment consoles, other intelligent devices, and related accessories. Service and other revenue includes sales from cloud-based solutions that provide customers with AI, software, services, platforms, and content such as Azure, Office 365, Enterprise Mobility and Security, LinkedIn, Dynamics 365, and XBOX; solution support; and consulting services. Service and other revenue also includes sales from online advertising. 55 PART II Item 8 Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. We enter into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Nature of Products and Services Licenses for on-premises software provide the customer with a right to use the software as it exists when made available to the customer. Customers may purchase perpetual licenses or subscribe to licenses, which provide customers with the same functionality and differ mainly in the duration over which the customer benefits from the software. Revenue from distinct on-premises licenses is recognized upfront at the point in time when the software is made available to the customer. In cases where we allocate revenue to software updates, primarily because the updates are provided at no additional charge, revenue is recognized as the updates are provided, which is generally ratably over the estimated life of the related device or license. Cloud services, which include software-as-a-service, infrastructure-as-a-service, and platform-as-a-service, are provided on either a subscription or consumption basis. Revenue related to cloud services provided on a subscription basis is recognized ratably over the contract period. Revenue related to cloud services provided on a consumption basis, such as the amount of storage used in a period, is recognized based on the customer utilization of such resources. When cloud services require a significant level of integration and interdependency with software and the individual components are not considered distinct, all revenue is recognized over the period in which the cloud services are provided. Certain volume licensing programs, including Enterprise Agreements, include on-premises licenses combined with Software Assurance (“SA”). SA conveys rights to new software and upgrades released over the contract period and provides support, tools, and training to help customers deploy and use products more efficiently. On-premises licenses are considered distinct performance obligations when sold with SA. Revenue allocated to SA is generally recognized ratably over the contract period as customers simultaneously consume and receive benefits, given that SA comprises distinct performance obligations that are satisfied over time. Revenue from search advertising is recognized when the advertisement appears in the search results or when the action necessary to earn the revenue has been completed. Revenue from consulting services is recognized as services are provided. Our hardware is generally highly dependent on, and interrelated with, the underlying operating system and cannot function without the operating system. In these cases, the hardware and software license are accounted for as a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized at the point in time when ownership is transferred to resellers or directly to end customers through retail stores and online marketplaces. Refer to Note 18 – Segment Information and Geographic Data for further information, including revenue by significant product and service offering. Significant Judgments Our contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. When a cloud-based service includes both on-premises software licenses and cloud services, judgment is required to determine whether the software license is considered distinct and accounted for separately, or not distinct and accounted for together with the cloud service and recognized over time. Certain cloud services, primarily Office 365, depend on a significant level of integration, interdependency, and interrelation between the desktop applications and cloud services, and are accounted for together as one performance obligation. Revenue from Office 365 is recognized ratably over the period in which the cloud services are provided. 56 PART II Item 8 Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation. We use a single amount to estimate SSP for items that are not sold separately, including on-premises licenses sold with SA or software updates provided at no additional charge. We use a range of amounts to estimate SSP when we sell each of the products and services separately and need to determine whether there is a discount to be allocated based on the relative SSP of the various products and services. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as when we do not sell the product or service separately, we determine the SSP using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs. We typically have more than one SSP for individual products and services due to the stratification of those products and services by customers and circumstances. In these instances, we may use information such as the size of the customer and geographic region in determining the SSP. Due to the various benefits from and the nature of our SA program, judgment is required to assess the pattern of delivery, including the exercise pattern of certain benefits across our portfolio of customers. Our products are generally sold with a right of return, we may provide other credits or incentives, and in certain instances we estimate customer usage of our products and services, which are accounted for as variable consideration when determining the amount of revenue to recognize. Returns and credits are estimated at contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting period if additional information becomes available. Changes to our estimated variable consideration were not material for the periods presented. Estimating revenue that will be allocated to remaining performance obligations can involve significant judgments, including identifying and assessing variable consideration and potential renegotiation of commitments. We consider factors such as the nature of the terms and duration of the contract across our portfolio of contracts. Contract Balances and Other Receivables Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. We record a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing, or unearned revenue when revenue is recognized subsequent to invoicing. For multi-year agreements, we generally invoice customers annually at the beginning of each annual coverage period. We record a receivable related to revenue recognized for multi-year on-premises licenses as we have an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment in the future related to those licenses. Unearned revenue comprises mainly unearned revenue related to volume licensing programs, which may include cloud services and SA. Unearned revenue is generally invoiced annually at the beginning of each contract period for multi-year agreements and recognized ratably over the coverage period. Unearned revenue also includes payments for LinkedIn subscriptions, Office 365 subscriptions, consulting services to be performed in the future, XBOX subscriptions, Windows post-delivery support, Dynamics business solutions, and other offerings for which we have been paid in advance and earn the revenue when we transfer control of the product or service. Refer to Note 12 – Unearned Revenue for further information, including unearned revenue by segment and changes in unearned revenue during the period. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 60 days. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, we have determined our contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of our invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing our products and services, not to receive financing from our customers or to provide customers with financing. Examples include invoicing at the beginning of a subscription term with revenue recognized ratably over the contract period, and multi-year on-premises licenses that are invoiced annually with revenue recognized upfront. As of June 30, 2026 and 2025, long-term accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, was $ 5.5 billion and $ 5.2 billion, respectively, and is included in other long-term assets in our consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2026 and 2025, the current portion of other receivables related to activities to facilitate the purchase of server components was $ 27.8 billion and $ 8.2 billion, respectively, and are included in other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, as of June 30, 2026, restricted investments pursuant to a supplier agreement were $ 11.3 billion, with $ 3.8 billion included in short-term investments and $ 7.5 billion included in equity and other investments in our consolidated balance sheet. 57 PART II Item 8 We record financing receivables when we offer certain customers the option to acquire our software products and services offerings through a financing program in a limited number of countries. As of June 30, 2026 and 2025, our financing receivables, net were $ 3.7 billion and $ 4.3 billion, respectively, for short-term and long-term financing receivables, which are included in other current assets and other long-term assets in our consolidated balance sheets. We record an allowance for doubtful accounts which reflects our best estimate of credit losses inherent in the accounts receivable and financing receivable balances. We determine the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence. Assets Recognized from Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer We recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if we expect the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. We have determined that certain sales incentive programs meet the requirements to be capitalized. Total capitalized costs to obtain a contract were immaterial during the periods presented and are included in other current and long-term assets in our consolidated balance sheets. We apply a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract with a customer when the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs include our internal sales organization compensation program and certain partner sales incentive programs as we have determined annual compensation is commensurate with annual sales activities. Cost of Revenue Cost of revenue includes: costs incurred to support and maintain cloud-based and other online products and services, including datacenter costs and royalties; operating costs related to product support service centers and product distribution centers; manufacturing and distribution costs for products sold and programs licensed; traffic acquisition costs to drive traffic to our websites and to acquire online advertising space; and costs associated with the delivery of consulting services. Research and Development Research and development expenses include payroll, stock-based compensation expense, employee benefits, and other headcount-related expenses associated with product development. Research and development expenses also include technology development costs, including AI training and other infrastructure costs, third-party development and programming costs, and the depreciation and amortization of assets used to conduct research and development. Such costs related to software development are included in research and development expense until the point that technological feasibility is reached, which for our software products is generally shortly before the products are released to production. Once technological feasibility is reached, such costs are capitalized and amortized to cost of revenue over the estimated lives of the products. Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing expenses include payroll, stock-based compensation expense, employee benefits, and other headcount-related expenses associated with sales and marketing personnel, and the costs of advertising, promotions, trade shows, seminars, and other programs. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $ 2.7 billion, $ 2.1 billion, and $ 1.7 billion in fiscal years 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Stock-Based Compensation Compensation cost for stock awards, which include restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”), is measured at the fair value on the grant date and recognized as expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the related service or performance period. The fair value of stock awards is based on the quoted price of our common stock on the grant date less the present value of expected dividends not received during the vesting period. We measure the fair value of PSUs using a Monte Carlo valuation model. Compensation cost for RSUs is recognized using the straight-line method and for PSUs is recognized using the accelerated method. Compensation expense for the employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) is measured as the discount the employee is entitled to upon purchase and is recognized in the period of purchase. 58 PART II Item 8 Income Taxes Income tax expense includes U.S. and international income taxes, and interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions. Certain income and expenses are not reported in tax returns and financial statements in the same year. The tax effect of such temporary differences is reported as deferred income taxes. We are subject to global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) in the U.S. and have elected to include GILTI in the measurement of deferred income taxes. Deferred tax assets are reported net of a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. All deferred income taxes are classified as long-term in our consolidated balance sheets. Financial Instruments Investments We consider all highly liquid interest-earning investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The fair values of these investments approximate their carrying values. In general, investments with original maturities of greater than three months and remaining maturities of less than one year are classified as short-term investments. Investments with maturities beyond one year may be classified as short-term based on their highly liquid nature and because such marketable securities represent the investment of cash that is available for current operations. Debt investments are classified as available-for-sale and realized gains and losses are recorded using the specific identification method. Changes in fair value, excluding credit losses and impairments, are recorded in other comprehensive income. Fair value is calculated based on publicly available market information or other estimates determined by management. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, we evaluate, among other factors, general market conditions, credit quality of debt instrument issuers, and the extent to which the fair value is less than cost. To determine credit losses, we employ a systematic methodology that considers available quantitative and qualitative evidence. In addition, we consider specific adverse conditions related to the financial health of, and business outlook for, the investee. If we have plans to sell the security or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery, then a decline in fair value below cost is recorded as an impairment charge in other income (expense), net and a new cost basis in the investment is established. If market, industry, and/or investee conditions deteriorate, we may incur future impairments. Equity investments with readily determinable fair values are generally measured at fair value. Equity investments that are not recorded at fair value are measured using the equity method of accounting when required or measured at cost less impairments, if any, with adjustments for observable changes in price (referred to as the measurement alternative). Identifying observable changes in price requires judgment in evaluating whether transactions are orderly and whether the securities are comparable, including consideration of the rights and preferences of the securities, the composition of the investor group, and other relevant facts and circumstances. For equity investments not recorded at fair value, we perform a qualitative assessment on a periodic basis and recognize an impairment if there are sufficient indicators that the fair value of the investment is less than carrying value. Changes in fair value are recorded in other income (expense), net. Equity method investments may be recorded on a lag of up to three months when sufficient financial information is not available in a timely manner. For equity method investments recorded on a lag, we recognize the impact of intervening events that have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements in the period in which they occurred. Investments that are considered variable interest entities (“VIEs”) are evaluated to determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE, in which case we would be required to consolidate the entity. We evaluate whether we have (1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We have determined we are not the primary beneficiary of any of our VIE investments. Therefore, our VIE investments are not consolidated and the majority are accounted for under the equity method of accounting or the measurement alternative. 59 PART II Item 8 We have a long-term strategic partnership with OpenAI. In October 2025, we signed a new definitive agreement with OpenAI that extends this partnership. We have an investment accounted for under the equity method that represents an approximate 25 % interest on an as-converted basis. As an equity method investee, OpenAI is a related party as defined in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 850, Related Party Disclosures (“ASC 850”). In accordance with ASC 850, we are disclosing revenue and accounts receivable balances from transactions with OpenAI. For fiscal year 2026, we recorded revenue from commercial arrangements with OpenAI, inclusive of revenue-sharing payments, of $ 24.1 billion, and accounts receivable from OpenAI as of June 30, 2026 was $ 6.0 billion. We have made total funding commitments of $ 13.0 billion related to our investment, of which $ 11.9 billion has been funded as of June 30, 2026. We calculate our equity method income or loss using the hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”) method because our liquidation rights and priorities differ from our underlying ownership interest. Under the HLBV method, we recognize income or loss based on the change in the amount we would receive if the net assets of the investee were distributed at book value. In October 2025, OpenAI formed a public benefit corporation and completed a recapitalization (“OpenAI Recapitalization”). During fiscal year 2026, our proportionate ownership of OpenAI decreased due to the OpenAI Recapitalization and other funding activity, and we recorded dilution gains in other income (expense), net. Refer to Note 3 – Other Income (Expense), Net for additional information. Derivatives Derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. For derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges, gains and losses are recognized in other income (expense), net with offsetting gains and losses on the hedged items. Gains and losses representing hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in other income (expense), net. For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, gains and losses are initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income and subsequently recognized in other income (expense), net with the corresponding hedged item. Gains and losses representing hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in other income (expense), net. For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges, gains and losses from changes in fair values are primarily recognized in other income (expense), net. Fair Value Measurements We account for certain assets and liabilities at fair value. The hierarchy below lists three levels of fair value based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. We categorize each of our fair value measurements in one of these three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are: • Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Our Level 1 investments include U.S. government securities, common and preferred stock, and mutual funds. Our Level 1 derivative assets and liabilities include those actively traded on exchanges. • Level 2 – inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques (e.g. the Black-Scholes model) for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs including interest rate curves, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates, and forward and spot prices for currencies. Our Level 2 investments include commercial paper, certificates of deposit, U.S. agency securities, foreign government bonds, mortgage- and asset-backed securities, corporate notes and bonds, and municipal securities. Our Level 2 derivative assets and liabilities include certain cleared swap contracts and over-the-counter forward, option, and swap contracts. • Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models. Our Level 3 assets and liabilities include investments in corporate notes and bonds, municipal securities, and goodwill and intangible assets, when they are recorded at fair value due to an impairment charge. Unobservable inputs used in the models are significant to the fair values of the assets and liabilities. 60 PART II Item 8 We measure equity investments without readily determinable fair values on a nonrecurring basis. The fair values of these investments are determined based on valuation techniques using the best information available, and may include quoted market prices, market comparables, and discounted cash flow projections. Our other current financial assets and current financial liabilities have fair values that approximate their carrying values. Property and Equipment Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. The estimated useful lives of our property and equipment are generally as follows: software developed or acquired for internal use, three years ; servers and network equipment, two to six years ; buildings and improvements, five to 15 years ; leasehold improvements, three to 15 years ; and furniture and equipment, one to 10 years . Land is not depreciated. Leases We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, other current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we generally use our incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. For certain equipment leases, such as vehicles, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Additionally, for certain equipment leases, we apply a portfolio approach to effectively account for the operating lease ROU assets and liabilities. Goodwill Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis (May 1) and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. Intangible Assets Our intangible assets are subject to amortization and are amortized over the estimated useful life in proportion to the economic benefits received. We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets periodically by taking into account events or circumstances that may warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate the asset may be impaired. Recent Accounting Guidance Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance Income Taxes – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new standard to improve income tax disclosures. The guidance requires additional disclosure of disaggregated income taxes paid and prescribes standardized categories for the components of the effective tax rate reconciliation. We adopted the standard prospectively beginning with our annual reporting for fiscal year 2026. The adoption resulted in incremental income tax disclosures. Refer to Note 11 – Income Taxes. 61 PART II Item 8 Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted Income Statement – Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses In November 2024, the FASB issued a new standard to expand disclosures about income statement expenses. The guidance requires disaggregation of certain costs and expenses included in each relevant expense caption on our consolidated income statements in a separate note to the financial statements at each interim and annual reporting period, including amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. The standard will be effective for us beginning with our annual reporting for fiscal year 2028 and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our disclosures. NOTE 2 — EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options and stock awards. The components of basic and diluted EPS were as follows: (In millions, except per share amounts) Year Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2024 Net income available for common shareholders (A) $ 133,749 $ 101,832 $ 88,136 Weighted average outstanding shares of common stock (B) 7,429 7,433 7,431 Dilutive effect of stock-based awards 24 32 38 Common stock and common stock equivalents (C) 7,453 7,465 7,469 Earnings Per Share Basic (A/B) $ 18.00 $ 13.70 $ 11.86 Diluted (A/C) $ 17.95 $ 13.64 $ 11.80 Anti-dilutive stock-based awards excluded from the calculations of diluted EPS were immaterial during the periods presented. NOTE 3 — OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET The components of other income (expense), net were as follows: (In millions) Year Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2024 Interest and dividends income $ 3,301 $ 2,647 $ 3,157 Interest expense ( 3,051 ) ( 2,385 ) ( 2,935 ) Net recognized gains (losses) on investments 4,385 ( 349 ) ( 118 ) Net gains (losses) on derivatives 1,867 ( 260 ) ( 187 ) Net gains (losses) on foreign currency remeasurements ( 527 ) 171 ( 244 ) Other, net 4,722 ( 4,725 ) ( 1,319 ) Total $ 10,697 $ ( 4,901 ) $ ( 1,646 ) Other income (expense), net included $ 6.5 billion of net gains, $ 4.8 billion of net losses, and $ 1.5 billion of net losses for fiscal years 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively, from investments in OpenAI, primarily net recognized gains (losses) on our equity method investment reflected in Other, net. The net gains recorded for fiscal year 2026 primarily relate to the dilution gain from the OpenAI Recapitalization. 62 PART II Item 8 Net Recognized Gains (Losses) on Investments Net recognized gains (losses) on debt investments were as follows: (In millions) Year Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2024 Realized gains from sales of available-for-sale securities $ 103 $ 40 $ 22 Realized losses from sales of available-for-sale securities ( 56 ) ( 65 ) ( 98 ) Impairments and allowance for credit losses ( 26 ) 8 23 Total $ 21 $ ( 17 ) $ ( 53 ) Net recognized gains (losses) on equity investments were as follows: (In millions) Year Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2024 Net realized gains on investments sold $ 125 $ 83 $ 18 Net unrealized gains on investments still held 4,391 536 146 Impairments of investments ( 152 ) ( 951 ) ( 229 ) Total $ 4,364 $ ( 332 ) $ ( 65 ) 63 PART II Item 8 NOTE 4 — INVESTMENTS Investment Components The components of investments were as follows: (In millions) Fair Value Level Adjusted Cost Basis Unrealized Gains Unrealized Losses Recorded Basis Cash and Cash Equivalents Short-term Investments Equity and Other Investments June 30, 2026 Changes in Fair Value Recorded in Other Comprehensive Income Commercial paper Level 2 $ 2,987 $ 0 $ 0 $ 2,987 $ 2,373 $ 614 $ 0 Certificates of deposit Level 2 1,745 0 0 1,745 1,701 44 0 U.S. government securities Level 1 49,714 2 ( 1,154 ) 48,562 399 40,675 7,488 U.S. agency securities Level 2 3,133 0 0 3,133 1,787 1,346 0 Foreign government bonds Level 2 221 12 ( 7 ) 226 0 226 0 Mortgage- and asset-backed securities Level 2 1,813 5 ( 23 ) 1,795 0 1,795 0 Corporate notes and bonds Level 2 10,682 49 ( 71 ) 10,660 0 10,660 0 Corporate notes and bonds Level 3 1,618 120 0 1,738 0 118 1,620 Municipal securities Level 2 152 0 ( 5 ) 147 0 147 0 Municipal securities Level 3 105 0 ( 14 ) 91 0 91 0 Total debt investments $ 72,170 $ 188 $ ( 1,274 ) $ 71,084 $ 6,260 $ 55,716 $ 9,108 Changes in Fair Value Recorded in Net Income Equity investments Level 1 $ 4,289 $ 1,616 $ 0 $ 2,673 Equity investments Other 24,567 0 0 24,567 Total equity investments $ 28,856 $ 1,616 $ 0 $ 27,240 Cash $ 13,059 $ 13,059 $ 0 $ 0 Derivatives, net (a) 192 0 192 0 Total $ 113,191 $ 20,935 $ 55,908 $ 36,348 64 PART II Item 8 (In millions) Fair Value Level Adjusted Cost Basis Unrealized Gains Unrealized Losses Recorded Basis Cash and Cash Equivalents Short-term Investments Equity and Other Investments June 30, 2025 Changes in Fair Value Recorded in Other Comprehensive Income Commercial paper Level 2 $ 10,880 $ 0 $ 0 $ 10,880 $ 9,939 $ 941 $ 0 Certificates of deposit Level 2 2,653 0 0 2,653 2,309 344 0 U.S. government securities Level 1 52,878 71 ( 1,462 ) 51,487 4,742 46,745 0 U.S. agency securities Level 2 2,686 0 0 2,686 496 2,190 0 Foreign government bonds Level 2 349 24 ( 9 ) 364 0 364 0 Mortgage- and asset-backed securities Level 2 2,558 10 ( 27 ) 2,541 0 2,541 0 Corporate notes and bonds Level 2 10,763 124 ( 101 ) 10,786 0 10,786 0 Corporate notes and bonds Level 3 2,511 65 ( 5 ) 2,571 0 111 2,460 Municipal securities Level 2 207 1 ( 7 ) 201 0 201 0 Municipal securities Level 3 104 0 ( 14 ) 90 0 90 0 Total debt investments $ 85,589 $ 295 $ ( 1,625 ) $ 84,259 $ 17,486 $ 64,313 $ 2,460 Changes in Fair Value Recorded in Net Income Equity investments Level 1 $ 4,577 $ 1,045 $ 0 $ 3,532 Equity investments Other 9,141 0 0 9,141 Total equity investments $ 13,718 $ 1,045 $ 0 $ 12,673 Cash $ 11,711 $ 11,711 $ 0 $ 0 Derivatives, net (a) 282 0 10 272 Total $ 109,970 $ 30,242 $ 64,323 $ 15,405 (a) Refer to Note 5 – Derivatives for further information on the fair value of our derivative instruments. Equity investments presented as “Other” in the tables above include investments without readily determinable fair values measured at cost with adjustments for observable changes in price or impairments, measured using the equity method, or measured at fair value using net asset value as a practical expedient which are not categorized in the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2026 and 2025, equity investments without readily determinable fair values measured at cost with adjustments for observable changes in price or impairments were $ 12.4 billion and $ 2.9 billion, respectively, and equity investments measured using the equity method were $ 12.0 billion and $ 6.0 billion, respectively. 65 PART II Item 8 Unrealized Losses on Debt Investments Debt investments with continuous unrealized losses for less than 12 months and 12 months or greater and their related fair values were as follows: Less than 12 Months 12 Months or Greater Total Unrealized Losses (In millions) Fair Value Unrealized Losses Fair Value Unrealized Losses Total Fair Value June 30, 2026 U.S. government and agency securities $ 19,100 $ ( 100 ) $ 22,042 $ ( 1,054 ) $ 41,142 $ ( 1,154 ) Foreign government bonds 74 ( 1 ) 30 ( 6 ) 104 ( 7 ) Mortgage- and asset-backed securities 905 ( 5 ) 129 ( 18 ) 1,034 ( 23 ) Corporate notes and bonds 5,066 ( 31 ) 909 ( 40 ) 5,975 ( 71 ) Municipal securities 0 0 122 ( 19 ) 122 ( 19 ) Total $ 25,145 $ ( 137 ) $ 23,232 $ ( 1,137 ) $ 48,377 $ ( 1,274 ) Less than 12 Months 12 Months or Greater Total Unrealized Losses (In millions) Fair Value Unrealized Losses Fair Value Unrealized Losses Total Fair Value June 30, 2025 U.S. government and agency securities $ 2,569 $ ( 51 ) $ 34,608 $ ( 1,411 ) $ 37,177 $ ( 1,462 ) Foreign government bonds 43 ( 2 ) 106 ( 7 ) 149 ( 9 ) Mortgage- and asset-backed securities 841 ( 4 ) 189 ( 23 ) 1,030 ( 27 ) Corporate notes and bonds 1,107 ( 8 ) 3,105 ( 98 ) 4,212 ( 106 ) Municipal securities 0 0 168 ( 21 ) 168 ( 21 ) Total $ 4,560 $ ( 65 ) $ 38,176 $ ( 1,560 ) $ 42,736 $ ( 1,625 ) Unrealized losses from fixed-income securities are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates. Management does not believe any remaining unrealized losses represent impairments based on our evaluation of available evidence. Debt Investment Maturities The following table outlines maturities of our debt investments as of June 30, 2026: (In millions) Adjusted Cost Basis Estimated Fair Value June 30, 2026 Due in one year or less $ 28,764 $ 28,697 Due after one year through five years 38,376 37,395 Due after five years through 10 years 3,493 3,586 Due after 10 years 1,537 1,406 Total $ 72,170 $ 71,084 NOTE 5 — DERIVATIVES We use derivative instruments to manage risks related to foreign currencies, interest rates, equity prices, and credit; to enhance investment returns; and to facilitate portfolio diversification. Our objectives for holding derivatives include reducing, eliminating, and efficiently managing the economic impact of these exposures as effectively as possible. Our derivative programs include strategies that both qualify and do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. 66 PART II Item 8 Foreign Currencies Certain forecasted transactions, assets, and liabilities are exposed to foreign currency risk. We monitor our foreign currency exposures daily to maximize the economic effectiveness of our foreign currency hedge positions. Foreign currency risks related to certain Euro-denominated debt are hedged using foreign exchange forward contracts that are designated as cash flow hedging instruments. Certain options and forwards not designated as hedging instruments are also used to manage the variability in foreign exchange rates on certain balance sheet amounts and to manage other foreign currency exposures. Interest Rate Interest rate risks related to certain fixed-rate debt are hedged using interest rate swaps that are designated as fair value hedging instruments to effectively convert the fixed interest rates to floating interest rates. Securities held in our fixed-income portfolio are subject to different interest rate risks based on their maturities. We manage the average maturity of our fixed-income portfolio to achieve economic returns that correlate to certain broad-based fixed-income indices using option, futures, and swap contracts. These contracts are not designated as hedging instruments and are included in “Other contracts” in the tables below. Equity Securities held in our equity investments portfolio are subject to market price risk. At times, we may hold options, futures, and swap contracts. These contracts are not designated as hedging instruments. Credit Our fixed-income portfolio is diversified and consists primarily of investment-grade securities. We use credit default swap contracts to manage credit exposures relative to broad-based indices and to facilitate portfolio diversification. These contracts are not designated as hedging instruments and are included in “Other contracts” in the tables below. Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features Certain counterparty agreements for derivative instruments contain provisions that require our issued and outstanding long-term unsecured debt to maintain an investment grade credit rating and require us to maintain minimum liquidity of $ 1.0 billion. To the extent we fail to meet these requirements, we will be required to post collateral, similar to the standard convention related to over-the-counter derivatives. As of June 30, 2026, our long-term unsecured debt rating was AAA , and cash investments were in excess of $ 1.0 billion. As a result, no collateral was required to be posted. The following table presents the notional amounts of our outstanding derivative instruments measured in U.S. dollar equivalents: (In millions) June 30, 2026 June 30, 2025 Designated as Hedging Instruments Foreign exchange contracts purchased $ 1,492 $ 1,492 Interest rate contracts purchased 1,179 1,150 Not Designated as Hedging Instruments Foreign exchange contracts purchased 12,052 15,214 Foreign exchange contracts sold 51,413 43,307 Equity contracts purchased 5,573 5,434 Equity contracts sold 2,546 2,189 Other contracts purchased 3,252 2,769 Other contracts sold 630 1,242 67 PART II Item 8 Fair Values of Derivative Instruments The following table presents our derivative instruments: Derivative Derivative Derivative Derivative (In millions) Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities June 30, 2026 June 30, 2025 Designated as Hedging Instruments Foreign exchange contracts $ 57 $ ( 65 ) $ 89 $ ( 44 ) Interest rate contracts 11 0 15 0 Not Designated as Hedging Instruments Foreign exchange contracts 1,742 ( 1,175 ) 248 ( 809 ) Equity contracts 346 ( 181 ) 385 ( 983 ) Other contracts 20 ( 9 ) 21 ( 1 ) Gross amounts of derivatives 2,176 ( 1,430 ) 758 ( 1,837 ) Gross amounts of derivatives offset in the balance sheets ( 1,300 ) 1,301 ( 258 ) 260 Cash collateral received 0 ( 366 ) 0 ( 99 ) Net amounts of derivatives $ 876 $ ( 495 ) $ 500 $ ( 1,676 ) Reported as Short-term investments $ 192 $ 0 $ 10 $ 0 Other current assets 681 0 201 0 Equity and other investments 0 0 272 0 Other long-term assets 3 0 17 0 Other current liabilities 0 ( 379 ) 0 ( 1,639 ) Other long-term liabilities 0 ( 116 ) 0 ( 37 ) Total $ 876 $ ( 495 ) $ 500 $ ( 1,676 ) Gross derivative assets and liabilities subject to legally enforceable master netting agreements for which we have elected to offset were $ 2.2 billion and $ 1.4 billion, respectively, as of June 30, 2026, and $ 452 million and $ 1.8 billion, respectively, as of June 30, 2025.

As of June 30, 2026, we have committed $ 34.6 billion for the construction of new buildings, building improvements, and leasehold improvements, primarily related to datacenters. NOTE 7 — BUSINESS COMBINATIONS Activision Blizzard, Inc. On October 13, 2023 , we completed our acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (“Activision Blizzard”) for a total purchase price of $ 75.4 billion, consisting primarily of cash. Activision Blizzard is a leader in game development and an interactive entertainment content publisher. The acquisition will accelerate the growth in our gaming business across mobile, PC, console, and cloud gaming. The financial results of Activision Blizzard have been included in our consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition. Activision Blizzard is reported as part of our More Personal Computing segment. 69 PART II Item 8 The allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was completed as of September 30, 2024. The major classes of assets and liabilities to which we have allocated the purchase price were as follows: (In millions) Cash and cash equivalents $ 12,976 Goodwill 51,001 Intangible assets 21,969 Other assets 2,503 Long-term debt ( 2,799 ) Long-term income taxes ( 1,946 ) Deferred income taxes ( 4,676 ) Other liabilities ( 3,620 ) Total purchase price $ 75,408 Goodwill was assigned to our More Personal Computing segment. The goodwill was primarily attributed to increased synergies that are expected to be achieved from the integration of Activision Blizzard. Substantially all of the goodwill is expected to be non-deductible for income tax purposes. Following are the details of the purchase price allocated to the intangible assets acquired: (In millions, except average life) Amount Weighted Average Life Marketing-related $ 11,619 24 years Technology-based 9,689 4 years Customer-related 661 4 years Fair value of intangible assets acquired $ 21,969 15 years Following are the supplemental consolidated financial results of Microsoft Corporation on an unaudited pro forma basis, as if the acquisition had been consummated on July 1, 2022: (In millions, except per share amounts) Year Ended June 30, 2024 2023 Revenue $ 247,442 $ 219,790 Net income 88,308 71,383 Diluted earnings per share 11.82 9.55 These pro forma results were based on estimates and assumptions, which we believe are reasonable. They are not the results that would have been realized had we been a combined company during the periods presented and are not necessarily indicative of our consolidated results of operations in future periods. The pro forma results include adjustments related to purchase accounting, primarily amortization of intangible assets. Acquisition costs and other nonrecurring charges were immaterial and are included in the earliest period presented. NOTE 8 — GOODWILL Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill were as follows: (In millions) June 30, 2024 Acquisitions Other June 30, 2025 Acquisitions Other June 30, 2026 Productivity and Business Processes $ 31,361 $ 0 $ 96 $ 31,457 $ 67 $ 46 $ 31,570 Intelligent Cloud 25,648 0 41 25,689 36 16 25,741 More Personal Computing 62,211 0 152 62,363 5 ( 28 ) 62,340 Total $ 119,220 $ 0 $ 289 $ 119,509 $ 108 $ 34 $ 119,651 70 PART II Item 8 The measurement periods for the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed end as soon as information on the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition dates becomes available, but do not exceed 12 months. Adjustments in purchase price allocations may require a change in the amounts allocated to goodwill during the periods in which the adjustments are determined. Any change in the goodwill amounts resulting from foreign currency translations and purchase accounting adjustments are presented as “Other” in the table above. Also included in “Other” are business dispositions and transfers between segments due to reorganizations, as applicable. Goodwill Impairment We test goodwill for impairment annually on May 1 at the reporting unit level, primarily using a discounted cash flow methodology with a peer-based, risk-adjusted weighted average cost of capital. We believe use of a discounted cash flow approach is the most reliable indicator of the fair values of the businesses. No instances of impairment were identified in our May 1, 2026, May 1, 2025, or May 1, 2024 tests. As of June 30, 2026 and 2025, accumulated goodwill impairment was $ 11.3 billion.

The estimated fair values are based on Level 2 inputs. Debt in the table above is comprised of senior unsecured obligations and ranks equally with our other outstanding obligations. Interest is paid semi-annually, except for the Euro-denominated debt, which is paid annually. Cash paid for interest on our debt for fiscal years 2026, 2025, and 2024 was $ 1.5 billion, $ 1.6 billion, and $ 1.7 billion, respectively. 72 PART II Item 8 The following table outlines maturities of our long-term debt, including the current portion, as of June 30, 2026: (In millions) Year Ending June 30, 2027 $ 9,250 2028 0 2029 2,001 2030 0 2031 500 Thereafter 34,385 Total $ 46,136 NOTE 11 — INCOME TAXES Provision for Income Taxes The components of the provision for income taxes were as follows: (In millions) Year Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2024 Current Taxes U.S. federal $ 2,461 $ 14,086 $ 12,165 U.S. state and local 2,713 3,342 2,366 Foreign 12,587 11,423 9,858 Current taxes $ 17,761 $ 28,851 $ 24,389 Deferred Taxes U.S. federal $ 12,780 $ ( 6,250 ) $ ( 4,791 ) U.S. state and local 1,113 ( 1,087 ) ( 379 ) Foreign 531 281 432 Deferred taxes $ 14,424 $ ( 7,056 ) $ ( 4,738 ) Provision for income taxes $ 32,185 $ 21,795 $ 19,651 U.S. and foreign components of income before income taxes were as follows: (In millions) Year Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2024 U.S. $ 103,591 $ 69,212 $ 62,886 Foreign 62,343 54,415 44,901 Income before income taxes $ 165,934 $ 123,627 $ 107,787 73 PART II Item 8 Effective Tax Rate We adopted Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”) prospectively. The items accounting for the difference between income taxes computed at the U.S. federal statutory rate and our effective rate for the year ended June 30, 2026, pursuant to the requirements of ASU 2023-09, were as follows: (In millions, except percentages) Year Ended June 30, 2026 Federal statutory tax rate $ 34,846 21.0 % Effect of: State and local income tax, net of federal income tax effect (a) 2,573 1.6 % Foreign tax effects: Ireland: Statutory tax rate difference ( 4,301 ) ( 2.6 )% Other 809 0.5 % Other foreign jurisdictions (b) 3,248 2.0 % Effect of cross-border tax laws: Global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) (c) 5,068 3.1 % Foreign-derived intangible income deduction ( 603 ) ( 0.4 )% Other 799 0.5 % Tax credits: Research and development credit ( 1,453 ) ( 0.9 )% Foreign tax credits ( 9,151 ) ( 5.5 )% Other ( 14 ) ( 0.0 )% Changes in unrecognized tax benefits (d) 1,094 0.7 % Other reconciling items, net ( 730 ) ( 0.6 )% Effective rate $ 32,185 19.4 % (a) In fiscal year 2026, state and local income taxes in California, Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, and New York City made up the majority (greater than 50%) of the tax effect in this category. (b) Under ASU 2023-09, Foreign tax effects include foreign withholding taxes while the related foreign tax credits are included in the Tax credits category. Prior to adoption of ASU 2023-09, foreign withholding taxes were presented net of foreign tax credits. (c) Under ASU 2023-09, we elected to present the effect of cross-border tax laws gross and present the foreign tax credits related to GILTI within the Tax credits category. (d) Includes changes in unrecognized tax benefits on an aggregated basis for all jurisdictions, including interest and penalties. As previously disclosed for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, prior to the adoption of ASU 2023-09, the items accounting for the difference between income taxes computed at the U.S. federal statutory rate and our effective rate were as follows: Year Ended June 30, 2025 2024 Federal statutory rate 21.0 % 21.0 % Effect of: Foreign earnings taxed at lower rates ( 1.5 )% ( 1.4 )% Foreign-derived intangible income deduction ( 1.0 )% ( 1.1 )% State income taxes, net of federal benefit 1.5 % 1.5 % Research and development credit ( 1.1 )% ( 1.1 )% Excess tax benefits relating to stock-based compensation ( 0.9 )% ( 1.1 )% Interest, net 1.0 % 1.1 % Other reconciling items, net ( 1.4 )% ( 0.7 )% Effective rate 17.6 % 18.2 % 74 PART II Item 8 The decrease from the federal statutory rate in fiscal years 2026, 2025, and 2024 is primarily due to earnings taxed at lower rates in foreign jurisdictions resulting from producing and distributing our products and services through our foreign regional operations center in Ireland. In fiscal years 2026, 2025, and 2024, our foreign regional operating center in Ireland, which is taxed at a rate lower than the U.S. rate, generated 81 %, 81 %, and 83 %, respectively, of our foreign income before tax. For fiscal year 2026, other reconciling items, net consists primarily of excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation, impacts of tax law changes, and changes in valuation allowances. For fiscal year 2025 and 2024, other reconciling items, net consists primarily of individually immaterial reconciling items such as GILTI net of related foreign tax credit, and in fiscal year 2024, includes tax benefits from tax law changes. In fiscal year 2024, tax benefits from tax law changes primarily relate to the delay of the effective date of final foreign tax credit regulations. In fiscal years 2026, 2025, and 2024, there were no individually significant other reconciling items. The increase in our effective tax rate for fiscal year 2026 compared to fiscal year 2025 was primarily due to changes in the mix of our earnings and tax expenses between the U.S. and foreign countries. The decrease in our effective tax rate for fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024 was due to changes in the mix of our earnings and tax expenses between the U.S. and foreign countries. The components of the deferred income tax assets and liabilities were as follows: (In millions) June 30, 2026 2025 Deferred Income Tax Assets Stock-based compensation expense $ 945 $ 909 Accruals, reserves, and other expenses 5,509 5,050 Loss and credit carryforwards 2,124 2,114 Amortization 3,843 4,118 Leasing liabilities 22,275 12,874 Unearned revenue 5,515 4,324 Book/tax basis differences in investments and debt 0 303 Capitalized research and development 15,305 16,891 Other 545 529 Deferred income tax assets 56,061 47,112 Less valuation allowance ( 1,332 ) ( 1,169 ) Deferred income tax assets, net of valuation allowance $ 54,729 $ 45,943 Deferred Income Tax Liabilities Book/tax basis differences in investments and debt $ ( 2,972 ) $ 0 Leasing assets ( 21,474 ) ( 12,696 ) Depreciation ( 17,675 ) ( 5,699 ) Deferred tax on foreign earnings ( 396 ) ( 1,148 ) Other ( 152 ) ( 127 ) Deferred income tax liabilities $ ( 42,669 ) $ ( 19,670 ) Net deferred income tax assets $ 12,060 $ 26,273 Reported As Other long-term assets $ 15,114 $ 29,108 Long-term deferred income tax liabilities ( 3,054 ) ( 2,835 ) Net deferred income tax assets $ 12,060 $ 26,273 Deferred income tax balances reflect the effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases and are stated at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes are paid or recovered. 75 PART II Item 8 As of June 30, 2026, we had federal, state, and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $ 369 million, $ 715 million, and $ 2.9 billion, respectively. The federal and state net operating loss carryforwards have varying expiration dates ranging from fiscal year 2027 to 2046 or indefinite carryforward periods, if not utilized. The majority of our foreign net operating loss carryforwards do not expire. Certain acquired net operating loss carryforwards are subject to an annual limitation but are expected to be realized with the exception of those which have a valuation allowance. As of June 30, 2026, we had $ 613 million federal capital loss carryforwards for U.S. tax purposes. The federal capital loss carryforwards will expire in fiscal year 2030 if not utilized. The valuation allowance disclosed in the table above relates to the foreign net operating loss carryforwards, federal capital loss carryforwards, and foreign tax credits carryforwards that may not be realized. Income taxes paid, net of refunds, pursuant to the disclosure requirements of ASU 2023-09 in fiscal year 2026 were as follows: (In millions) Year Ended June 30 2026 U.S. federal $ 6,246 U.S. state and local 2,917 Foreign Ireland 6,495 Other 5,530 Income taxes paid, net of refunds $ 21,188 Income taxes paid, net of refunds, were $ 28.7 billion, and $ 23.4 billion in fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively. Uncertain Tax Positions Gross unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2026, 2025, and 2024, were $ 25.8 billion, $ 24.7 billion, and $ 22.8 billion, respectively, which were primarily included in long-term income taxes in our consolidated balance sheets. If recognized, the resulting tax benefit would affect our effective tax rates for fiscal years 2026, 2025, and 2024 by $ 21.6 billion, $ 21.2 billion, and $ 19.6 billion, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, 2025, and 2024, we had accrued interest expense related to uncertain tax positions of $ 9.4 billion, $ 8.2 billion, and $ 6.8 billion, respectively, net of income tax benefits. The provision for income taxes for fiscal years 2026, 2025, and 2024 included interest expense related to uncertain tax positions of $ 1.4 billion, $ 1.3 billion, and $ 1.5 billion, respectively, net of income tax benefits. The aggregate changes in the gross unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions were as follows: (In millions) Year Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2024 Beginning unrecognized tax benefits $ 24,729 $ 22,760 $ 17,120 Decreases related to settlements ( 221 ) ( 240 ) ( 76 ) Increases for tax positions related to the current year 1,517 2,066 1,903 Increases for tax positions related to prior years 263 468 4,289 Decreases for tax positions related to prior years ( 404 ) ( 300 ) ( 464 ) Decreases due to lapsed statutes of limitations ( 53 ) ( 25 ) ( 12 ) Ending unrecognized tax benefits $ 25,831 $ 24,729 $ 22,760 We remain under audit by the IRS for tax years 2014 to 2017 . With respect to the audit for tax years 2004 to 2013 , on September 26, 2023, we received Notices of Proposed Adjustment (“NOPAs”) from the IRS. The primary issues in the NOPAs relate to intercompany transfer pricing. In the NOPAs, the IRS is seeking an additional tax payment of $ 28.9 billion plus penalties and interest. As of June 30, 2026, we believe our allowances for income tax contingencies are adequate. We disagree with the proposed adjustments and will vigorously contest the NOPAs through the IRS’s administrative appeals office and, if necessary, judicial proceedings. 76 PART II Item 8 We are subject to income tax in many jurisdictions outside the U.S., some of which are currently under audit by local tax authorities. The resolution of these audits is not expected to be material to our consolidated financial statements. Our operations in Ireland remain subject to examination for tax years 2021 and thereafter . NOTE 12 — UNEARNED REVENUE Unearned revenue by segment was as follows: (In millions) June 30, 2026 2025 Productivity and Business Processes $ 57,936 $ 50,567 Intelligent Cloud 14,942 14,022 More Personal Computing 2,834 2,676 Total $ 75,712 $ 67,265 Changes in unearned revenue were as follows: (In millions) Year Ended June 30, 2026 Balance, beginning of period $ 67,265 Deferral of revenue 194,184 Recognition of unearned revenue ( 185,737 ) Balance, end of period $ 75,712 Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations, which includes unearned revenue and amounts expected to be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods, was $ 684 billion as of June 30, 2026. Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations related to the commercial portion of revenue was $ 678 billion as of June 30, 2026, with a weighted average duration of approximately 2.3 years. We expect to recognize approximately 30 % of both our total company remaining performance obligation revenue and commercial remaining performance obligation revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter. NOTE 13 — LEASES We have operating and finance leases for datacenters, corporate offices, research and development facilities, and certain equipment.

These leases will commence between fiscal year 2027 and fiscal year 2033 with lease terms of 1 year to 20 years. 78 PART II Item 8 NOTE 14 — CONTINGENCIES Irish Data Protection Commission Matter In 2018, the Irish Data Protection Commission (“IDPC”) began investigating a complaint against LinkedIn as to whether LinkedIn’s targeted advertising practices violated the recently implemented European Union General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). Microsoft cooperated throughout the period of inquiry. In October 2024, the IDPC provided LinkedIn with a final decision alleging GDPR violations and assessing a fine. In November 2024, LinkedIn appealed the final decision. A preliminary hearing was held in December 2025. The court issued a ruling on the standard of appeal, which the IDPC may appeal. Other Contingencies We also are subject to a variety of other claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. Although management currently believes that resolving claims against us, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact in our consolidated financial statements, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. As of June 30, 2026, we accrued aggregate legal liabilities of $ 553 million. While we intend to defend these matters vigorously, adverse outcomes that we estimate could reach approximately $ 400 million in aggregate beyond recorded amounts are reasonably possible. Were unfavorable final outcomes to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact in our consolidated financial statements for the period in which the effects become reasonably estimable.

The primary profitability measure used by the CODM to review segment operating results is operating income. The CODM uses operating income to allocate resources during our annual planning process and throughout the year, as well as to assess the performance of our segments, primarily by monitoring actual results compared to prior periods and expected results. During the periods presented, we reported our financial performance based on the following three segments: Productivity and Business Processes, Intelligent Cloud, and More Personal Computing. Our reportable segments are described below. Productivity and Business Processes Our Productivity and Business Processes segment consists of products and services in our portfolio of productivity, communication, and information services, spanning a variety of devices and platforms. This segment primarily comprises: • Microsoft 365 Commercial products and cloud services, including Microsoft 365 Commercial cloud, comprising Microsoft 365 Commercial, Enterprise Mobility + Security, the cloud portion of Windows Commercial, the per-user portion of Power BI, Exchange, SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365 Security and Compliance, and Microsoft 365 Copilot; and Microsoft 365 Commercial products, comprising Windows Commercial on-premises and Office licensed on-premises. • Microsoft 365 Consumer products and cloud services, including Microsoft 365 Consumer subscriptions, Office licensed on-premises, and other consumer services. • LinkedIn, including Talent Solutions, Marketing Solutions, Premium Subscriptions, and Sales Solutions. • Dynamics products and cloud services, including Dynamics 365, comprising a set of intelligent, cloud-based applications across ERP, CRM, Power Apps, and Power Automate; and on-premises ERP and CRM applications. Intelligent Cloud Our Intelligent Cloud segment consists of our public, private, and hybrid server products and cloud services that power modern business and developers. This segment primarily comprises: • Server products and cloud services, including Azure and other cloud services, comprising cloud and AI consumption-based services, GitHub cloud services, Health and Life Sciences cloud services (formerly Nuance Healthcare cloud services), virtual desktop offerings, and other cloud services; and Server products, comprising SQL Server, Windows Server, Visual Studio, System Center, related Client Access Licenses, and other on-premises offerings. • Enterprise and partner services, including Enterprise Support Services, Industry Solutions, Microsoft Partner Network, and Learning Experience. More Personal Computing Our More Personal Computing segment consists of products and services that put customers at the center of the experience with our technology. This segment primarily comprises: • Windows and Devices, including Windows OEM licensing (Windows Pro and non-Pro licenses sold through the OEM channel) and Devices, comprising Surface and PC accessories. • XBOX (formerly Gaming), including XBOX hardware and XBOX content and services, comprising first- and third-party content (including games and in-game content), XBOX Game Pass and other subscriptions, XBOX Cloud Gaming, advertising, and other cloud services. • Search advertising (formerly Search and news advertising), comprising Bing, Copilot, Microsoft News, Microsoft Edge, and third-party affiliates. 83 PART II Item 8 Revenue and costs are generally directly attributed to our segments. However, due to the integrated structure of our business, certain revenue recognized and costs incurred by one segment may benefit other segments. Revenue from certain contracts is allocated among the segments based on the relative value of the underlying products and services, which can include allocation based on actual prices charged, prices when sold separately, or estimated costs plus a profit margin. Cost of revenue is allocated in certain cases based on a relative revenue methodology. Operating expenses that are allocated primarily include those relating to our investments in AI infrastructure and training, as well as marketing of products and services, from which multiple segments benefit and are generally allocated based on relative gross margin. In addition, certain costs are incurred at a corporate level and allocated to our segments. These allocated costs generally include legal, including settlements and fines, information technology, human resources, finance, excise taxes, field selling, shared facilities services, customer service and support, and severance incurred as part of a corporate program. Each allocation is measured differently based on the specific facts and circumstances of the costs being allocated and is generally based on relative gross margin or relative headcount. Segment revenue, cost of revenue, operating expenses, and operating income were as follows during the periods presented: (In millions) Year Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2024 Productivity and Business Processes Revenue $ 139,996 $ 120,810 $ 106,820 Cost of revenue 25,017 22,422 19,611 Operating expenses 31,100 28,615 27,548 Operating income $ 83,879 $ 69,773 $ 59,661 Intelligent Cloud Revenue $ 137,791 $ 106,265 $ 87,464 Cost of revenue 57,876 40,171 29,611 Operating expenses 22,943 21,505 20,040 Operating income $ 56,972 $ 44,589 $ 37,813 More Personal Computing Revenue $ 54,052 $ 54,649 $ 50,838 Cost of revenue 23,481 25,238 24,892 Operating expenses 16,185 15,245 13,987 Operating income $ 14,386 $ 14,166 $ 11,959 Total Revenue $ 331,839 $ 281,724 $ 245,122 Cost of revenue 106,374 87,831 74,114 Operating expenses 70,228 65,365 61,575 Operating income $ 155,237 $ 128,528 $ 109,433 No sales to an individual customer or country other than the United States accounted for more than 10% of revenue for fiscal years 2026, 2025, or 2024. Revenue, classified by the major geographic areas in which our customers were located, was as follows: (In millions) Year Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2024 United States (a) $ 170,794 $ 144,546 $ 124,704 Other countries 161,045 137,178 120,418 Total $ 331,839 $ 281,724 $ 245,122 (a) Includes billings to OEMs and certain multinational organizations because of the nature of these businesses and the impracticability of determining the geographic source of the revenue. 84 PART II Item 8 Revenue, classified by significant product and service offerings, was as follows: (In millions) Year Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2024 Server products and cloud services $ 129,425 $ 98,435 $ 79,828 Microsoft 365 Commercial products and cloud services 101,997 87,767 76,969 XBOX 21,790 23,455 21,503 LinkedIn 19,817 17,812 16,372 Windows and Devices 17,084 17,314 17,026 Search advertising 15,176 13,878 12,306 Microsoft 365 Consumer products and cloud services 9,175 7,404 6,648 Dynamics products and cloud services 9,006 7,827 6,831 Enterprise and partner services 8,260 7,760 7,594 Other 109 72 45 Total $ 331,839 $ 281,724 $ 245,122 Our Microsoft Cloud revenue, which includes Microsoft 365 Commercial cloud, Azure and other cloud services, the commercial portion of LinkedIn, and Dynamics 365, was $ 214.4 billion, $ 168.9 billion, and $ 137.7 billion in fiscal years 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively. These amounts are included in Server products and cloud services, Microsoft 365 Commercial products and cloud services, LinkedIn, and Dynamics products and cloud services in the table above. Assets are not allocated to segments for internal reporting presentations. A portion of amortization and depreciation is included with various other costs in an overhead allocation to each segment. It is impracticable for us to separately identify the amount of amortization and depreciation by segment that is included in the measure of segment profit or loss. Long-lived assets, excluding financial instruments and tax assets, classified by the location of the controlling statutory company and with countries over 10% of the total shown separately, were as follows: (In millions) June 30, 2026 2025 2024 United States $ 300,354 $ 230,069 $ 186,106 Other countries 175,159 141,833 115,263 Total $ 475,513 $ 371,902 $ 301,369 85 PART II Item 8 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGIST ERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Microsoft Corporation Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Microsoft Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows, and stockholders' equity, for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2026, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2026, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated July 29, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matters The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. 86 PART II Item 8 Revenue Recognition – Refer to Note 1 to the financial statements Critical Audit Matter Description The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. The Company offers customers the ability to acquire multiple licenses of software products and services, including cloud-based services, in its customer agreements through its volume licensing programs. Significant judgment is exercised by the Company in determining revenue recognition for certain customer agreements, and includes the following: • Determination of whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together, such as software licenses and related services that are sold with cloud-based services. • The pattern of delivery (i.e., timing of when revenue is recognized) for each distinct performance obligation. • Identification and treatment of contract terms that may impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized (e.g., variable consideration, optional purchases, and free services). • Determination of stand-alone selling prices for each distinct performance obligation and for products and services that are not sold separately. Given these factors and due to the volume of transactions, the related audit effort in evaluating management's judgments in determining revenue recognition for certain customer agreements was extensive and required a high degree of auditor judgment. How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit Our principal audit procedures related to the Company's revenue recognition for certain customer agreements included the following: • We tested the effectiveness of controls related to the identification of distinct performance obligations, the determination of the timing of revenue recognition, and the estimation of variable consideration. • We evaluated management's significant accounting policies related to certain customer agreements for reasonableness. • We selected a sample of customer agreements and performed the following procedures: o Obtained and read contract source documents for each selection, including master agreements, and other documents that were part of the agreement. o Tested management's identification and treatment of contract terms. o Assessed the terms in the customer agreement and evaluated the appropriateness of management's application of their accounting policies, along with their use of estimates, in the determination of revenue recognition conclusions. • We evaluated the reasonableness of management's estimate of stand-alone selling prices for products and services that are not sold separately. • We tested the mathematical accuracy of management's calculations of revenue and the associated timing of revenue recognized in the financial statements. 87 PART II Item 8
