Microsoft Cloud and AI Strength Fuels Fourth Quarter Results

REDMOND, Wash. — July 29, 2026 — Microsoft Corp. today announced the following results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the corresponding period of last fiscal year:

•Revenue was $90.0 billion and increased 18% (up 17% in constant currency)•Operating income was $40.6 billion and increased 18%•Net income was $35.8 billion and increased 31% on a GAAP basis, and was $35.3 billion and increased 22% on a non-GAAP basis•Diluted earnings per share was $4.81 and increased 32% on a GAAP basis, and was $4.74 and increased 23% on a non-GAAP basis•Non-GAAP results exclude the impact from investments in OpenAI, explained in the Non-GAAP Definition section below

Several discrete items impacted our financial results in the quarter when compared to our forward-looking guidance provided on April 29, 2026, resulting in a benefit of $0.27 on diluted earnings per share. These include a $3.2 billion gain from our investment in Anthropic and lower-than-expected expenses related to the Voluntary Retirement Program which were partially offset by severance expense and impairment charges in XBOX. When adjusting for these items, we exceeded expectations across revenue, operating income, and diluted earnings per share.

“We are advancing the frontier on the cost-to-outcome curve, ensuring every customer can turn tokens into business results,” said Satya Nadella, chairman and chief executive officer of Microsoft. “This year, Azure revenue surpassed $100 billion for the first time, and Microsoft 365 Copilot reached over 30 million paid seats, reflecting the confidence customers are placing in us to power their AI transformation.”

“We delivered a strong quarter to close out the fiscal year, highlighted by Microsoft Cloud revenue of $59.3 billion, up 27% year-over-year,” said Amy Hood, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Microsoft.

The following table adjusts for the impact from investments in OpenAI and reconciles our financial results reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to non-GAAP financial results. Additional information regarding our non-GAAP definition is provided below. All growth comparisons relate to the corresponding period in the last fiscal year.
