It's very early days in all of our businesses and we remain excited by how much more we can make customers' lives better and easier moving forward."
Highlights
Obsessing over the customer experience
Amazon obsesses over how to make customers' lives better and easier every day with new and improved products and services. This is true for consumers, sellers, brands, developers, enterprises, and creators. For example, Amazon:
Continued to delight customers with fast and convenient delivery. With more than 2 billion global units arriving the same or next day in Q1, Amazon delivered to Prime members at its fastest speeds ever. In March, across the top 60 largest U.S. metro areas, nearly 60% of Prime member orders arrived the same or next day, and in London, Tokyo, and Toronto, 3 out of 4 items were delivered the same or next day.
Expanded selection across the company's stores with the launch of popular brands. In the U.S., this included Gen Z favorite Parade; luxury fashion and accessories from AREA and HBX Archives by Hypebeast; beauty brands Clinique, Keys Soulcare by Alicia Keys, and LOVED01 by John Legend; tech brands Oura Ring and Sonos speakers; and officially-licensed products from the National Women's Soccer League. In Europe, Luxury Stores at Amazon announced a collaboration with Hardly Ever Worn It to offer customers pre-owned items from luxury brands.
Helped customers save with shopping events worldwide, including Amazon's Spring Deal Days in Europe and the first Big Spring Sale in Canada and the U.S., where customers saved on a wide selection of items including fashion, outdoor furniture, lawn and garden essentials, and cleaning and organizing products. Amazon also held a Ramadan event in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, where customers shopped hundreds of thousands of deals on local and international brands. Amazon also announced it will hold its 10th Prime Day event in July.
Expanded the company's health care offerings to provide customers in the U.S. more convenient access to medical care and medications, including adding Amazon Pharmacy home delivery of select Lilly diabetes, obesity, and migraine medications to LillyDirect patients; launching same-day delivery of prescription medications to Amazon Pharmacy customers in two new locations--greater Los Angeles and New York City--with plans to expand to more than a dozen cities by the end of year; and introducing Health Condition Programs, which makes it easier for customers to discover and enroll in digital health benefits for conditions like prediabetes, diabetes, and high blood pressure in Amazon's U.S. store.
Launched a grocery subscription for unlimited delivery on orders over $35 from Whole Foods Market, Amazon Fresh, as well as local grocery and specialty retailers. The subscription benefit is available to Prime members in more than 3,500 towns and cities in the U.S., as well as customers using a registered Electronic Benefits Transfer card.
Announced that Buy with Prime is available for Salesforce Commerce Cloud merchants. By offering new features like the ability for shoppers to search and filter for Prime-eligible items, and the ability to purchase Prime-eligible and non-eligible items in the same order, Buy with Prime provides merchants using Salesforce Commerce Cloud more flexibility and functionality, while maintaining control over their stores' look and feel.
Announced that Prime Video will stream its first NFL Wild Card playoff game in January 2025. Prime Video, which is home to Thursday Night Football, will have exclusive rights to air an opening round playoff game.
Earned 12 awards for Amazon MGM Studios film American Fiction, including nine for Best Adapted Screenplay by writer/director Cord Jefferson. These include an Academy Award, BAFTA Film Award, Critics Choice Award, two Independent Spirit Awards, and two Writers Guild of America Awards.
Grew Prime Video's international slate of content with more than 30 local Amazon Originals, including Operacion Triunfo (Spain), Prime Video's first weekly live entertainment show, which was watched by more than 3.5 million unique viewers in Spain; Indian Police Force (India), which had the most viewers complete the entire first season for any Amazon India Original in its launch week; and Last One Laughing (Mexico) Season Six, which is the longest running edition of the hit global franchise.

Continued to expand AWS's infrastructure footprint to support customers by announcing:
Plans to launch new infrastructure Regions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and in Mexico, which will give developers, startups, entrepreneurs, and enterprises greater choice for running their applications and serving end users. As part of AWS's long-term commitment, it is planning to invest more than $5.3 billion in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and more than $5 billion in Mexico over the next several years.
A planned investment of $10 billion to build two data center complexes in Mississippi. This investment, which is the single largest capital investment in the state's history, will create at least 1,000 jobs and support new educational trainings in the state.
The general availability of new AWS Local Zones in Atlanta, Chicago, and Houston. In Atlanta, AWS Local Zones support EC2 P5 instances, which deliver the highest performance for deep learning and high-performance computing applications.
Announced that AWS began waiving charges for data transfer out to the internet (DTO) to give customers choice if they want to migrate their data outside of AWS. The waiver on DTO charges is available to all AWS customers around the world and from any AWS Region.
Inventing on behalf of customers
Amazon is driven by a passion for invention across all of its business areas. The company builds new products and services that customers ask for, and also invents new ones that customers didn't know they wanted but make their lives or businesses better in some meaningful way. For example, Amazon:
Announced the general availability of Amazon Q, the most capable generative AI-powered assistant for accelerating software development and leveraging companies' internal data.
On the software development side, Amazon Q not only generates highly accurate code, but also tests code, debugs coding conflicts, and transforms code from one form to another (today, developers can save months using Q to move from older versions of Java to newer, more secure and capable ones; in the near future, Q will help developers transform their .net code as well). Q Developer Agents does multi-step planning and reasoning to allow developers to string together multiple requests and have Q implement them.
On the internal data side, most companies have large troves of data that reside in wikis, intranet pages, Salesforce, storage repositories like Amazon S3, and many other data stores and SaaS apps that are hard to access. It makes answering straightforward questions about company policies, products, business results, code, people, and many other topics hard and frustrating. Q makes this much simpler. Customers can point Q at all of its enterprise data repositories, and it'll search this data, summarize logically, analyze trends, and engage in dialog with customers about this data. With the launch of a powerful new capability called Q Apps, employees can now describe, in natural language, what apps they want to build on top of this internal data, and Q Apps will quickly generate that app. This will make it much easier for internal teams to build useful apps from their own data.
Delivered a number of innovations in Amazon Bedrock (AWS's generative AI service that enables customers to leverage an existing large language model, customize it with their own data, and have the easiest and best features available to deploy secure, high quality, low latency, cost-effective production generative AI apps). Tens of thousands of organizations worldwide are using Amazon Bedrock. These new Bedrock capabilities include:
The general availability of Anthropic's Claude 3 family of vision-enabled foundation models (FMs)--Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku--which are the best performing models in the world right now and provide industry-leading accuracy, performance, speed, and cost. Claude 3 Opus has set a new standard, outperforming other models available today in the areas of reasoning, math, and coding. Amazon Bedrock became the first managed service to add Claude 3 models, and continues to provide customers with the widest choice of high-performing, fully-managed large language models (LLMs) and FMs.
The general availability of Meta Llama 3 models, a collection of pretrained and instruction fine-tuned LLMs that come in two sizes--8B and 70B. The new models demonstrate significant improvements over previous versions due to vastly increased training data and scale. This collection of models supports a broad range of use cases, like text summarization and classification, sentiment analysis, language translation, and code generation.
The addition of FMs from leading AI startup Mistral AI. Mistral Large, the latest and most advanced LLM from Mistral AI, provides top-tier reasoning capabilities for complex multilingual reasoning tasks. Mistral AI's Mixtral 8x7B and Mistral 7B models can summarize, answer questions, and help organize information with their deep understanding of text structure and architecture.
The availability of new Cohere models (Command R and Command R+) on Bedrock.
New first party Amazon Titan LLMs, including Amazon Titan Text Embeddings V2 and the general availability of Amazon Titan Image Generator.
The general availability of Model Evaluation, which is the fastest way for organizations to analyze, compare, and select models on Amazon Bedrock, reducing time from weeks to hours spent evaluating models so customers can bring new applications and experiences to market faster.
The general availability of Guardrails, which provides customers with best-in-class technology to easily implement safeguards to remove personal and sensitive information, profanity, specific words, and harmful content. Guardrails offers industry-leading safety protection on top of the native capabilities of FMs, helping customers block up to 85% of harmful content. Guardrails is the only solution offered by a broad cloud provider that allows customers to have built-in and custom safeguards in a single offering, and it works with all LLMs in Amazon Bedrock, as well as fine-tuned models.
The new Custom Model Import capability that makes it simple for customers to import models from SageMaker (or elsewhere) into Bedrock before deploying their application--enabling customers to take advantage of all the Bedrock features that make it so much easier to build high quality production-grade generative AI apps.
Announced the extension of AWS and NVIDIA's strategic collaboration to make AWS the best place to run NVIDIA GPUs, helping customers unlock new generative AI capabilities. AWS will bring together NVIDIA's next-generation Blackwell platform with AWS Nitro System and AWS Key Management Service advanced security, Elastic Fabric Adapter petabit-scale networking, and Amazon EC2 UltraCluster hyper-scale clustering, enabling customers to securely build and run multi-trillion parameter LLMs faster, at massive scale, and at a lower cost than previous-generation NVIDIA GPUs on Amazon EC2. In addition, Project Ceiba, an AI supercomputer being jointly developed by AWS and NVIDIA exclusively on AWS for NVIDIA's own AI research and development, will be built on the Blackwell platform.
Continued to meet growing demand for AWS Trainium and Inferentia chips, which help customers maximize performance and control costs for their machine learning (ML) workloads. Customers using these purpose-built AWS ML AI chips include Anthropic, Databricks, Leonardo.ai, Qualtrics, Ricoh, Stockmark, Watashiha, and Vyond. In addition, Meta's recently-launched Llama 3 model is running on Trainium and Inferentia2--delivering the lowest cost to train, fine tune, and deploy Llama 3 on AWS.
Updated AWS Neuron (software that lets customers use popular frameworks like PyTorch to train and deploy models with minimal code changes on Amazon EC2 instances, powered by Trainium and Inferentia chips) to include features that further reduce costs for LLM inference for both external customers and internal teams at Amazon, such as Amazon Rufus.
Continued to rollout Rufus in the Amazon Shopping app to millions of customers in the U.S. Rufus, in beta, is a new generative AI-powered shopping assistant that can help customers save time and make more informed purchase decisions by answering a variety of shopping-related questions, providing product comparisons, making recommendations, and more. Amazon improved Rufus' answer accuracy and response speed, and added new features, including "My Orders," which answers questions such as "when did I last order coffee?" and "what dog treats did I last order?"
Added more generative AI features for independent sellers in the U.S. to create product listings, including a new tool that allows sellers to leverage product listings on their own websites, simply by providing Amazon with a URL. Amazon's generative AI-based features automatically parse the information to seamlessly create high-quality, engaging listings for Amazon's store. This feature further enhances and streamlines the process of creating product listings, saving sellers time and effort, while also developing product listings that appeal to customers and help drive sales.
Released 20 films and series from Amazon MGM Studios, including the debut season of Fallout, which attracted more than 65 million viewers worldwide and has become the second most watched title ever on Prime Video through its first 16 days; Road House, which attracted more than 50 million viewers worldwide in its first two weekends streaming on Prime Video, the biggest debut ever for an Amazon MGM Studios-produced film; Hazbin Hotel, which had the most total global viewers on its opening weekend for a new animated series on Prime Video; and The Beekeeper, which ranked in the top-10 of theatrical releases by revenue globally in the first quarter.
Announced plans to create a new series from MrBeast, the world's most-subscribed YouTube creator. Beast Games is set to have 1,000 contestants competing for $5 million--the biggest single prize in the history of television and streaming. The series will premiere on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories and is based on MrBeast's popular show.
Announced a global collaboration that will bring Fire TV to Panasonic's new smart TVs. Customers will get the benefits of Fire TV's personalized streaming and access to Alexa, combined with Panasonic's smart TVs. Amazon also announced Matter Casting on Fire TV and Echo Show 15--an industry-first implementation of this practice. Matter Casting lets customers stream and control content on their television or streaming stick from their mobile app. Customers can begin watching a movie from Prime Video on their phone, and cast it to a compatible Fire TV or Echo Show 15 to continue watching on a bigger screen.

Achieved several important milestones on the path toward commercializing Zoox, Amazon's self-driving robotaxi, which is expected later this year. Key deliverables included: receiving Zoox's California Public Utilities Commission Driverless Autonomous Vehicle Pilot permit, which allows Zoox to carry members of the public in Foster City, California, without charging a fare; expanding driving capabilities to include higher speeds, night driving, and driving in light rain in both California and Nevada; and expanding the virtual boundary where Zoox can operate its robotaxis in Las Vegas, helping prepare for the first public riders in the city later this year.
Announced Whole Foods Market Daily Shop, a new quick-shop store designed to provide customers in urban neighborhoods a quick, convenient shopping experience. The new format will launch on the Upper East Side in Manhattan, with additional locations in New York City to follow.
Empowering employees and delivery service partners
In addition to its focus on customers, Amazon strives to make every day better for its employees and delivery service partners. For example, the company:
Announced that Amazon improved recordable incident rates (any work-related injury that requires more than basic first-aid treatment) by 30% and lost time incident rates (any work-related injury that requires someone to take time away from work) by 60% worldwide over the past four years. In 2024, Amazon plans to invest over $750 million in technologies, resources, training, and programs to further improve safety across its network.
Achieved record-breaking participation in Career Choice, Amazon's education benefit that empowers employees to learn new skills for career success, in the first quarter. Since the program launched in 2012, nearly 200,000 employees have furthered their education, earned industry certifications, and learned new skills through the program.
Ranked No. 3 on Fortune magazine's World's Most Admired Companies list--Amazon's eighth straight year in the top three. The annual ranking is determined by a survey of top executives and analysts, and companies are evaluated on factors including the quality of their management and products, commitments to social responsibility, and ability to attract talent.
Expanded opportunities for women in India, including awarding new scholarships for 500 women students to help them build a career in technology as part of the Amazon Future Engineer Scholarship Program. Students will receive 50,000 Indian Rupees each year to go toward courses in computer science.
Announced that Amazon will introduce its Delivery Service Partner (DSP) program in Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney, Australia this year.

The program will expand Amazon's last mile network in Australia to meet growing customer demand.
Announced plans to open Amazon Robotics fulfillment centers in Asturias, Spain and Sagamihara City, Japan, as part of Amazon's commitment to design and deploy advanced technology that improves operational safety, employee experience, and customer delivery. The company now has Robotics fulfillment centers in 11 countries around the world, and they help improve workplace ergonomics, reduce heavy lifting and repetitive tasks, and enable employees to gain new skills.
Supporting communities and protecting the environment
Amazon believes that success and scale bring broad responsibility to help the planet, future generations, and communities. Amazon employees have passion for investing in these areas, and a sampling of the efforts from this past quarter are that Amazon:
Launched a Disaster Relief Hub in Rheinberg, Germany--Amazon's first Hub in Europe and the company's 13th around the world. The 21,000-square-foot Hub allows Amazon to store and quickly pack relief items that are most needed following natural disasters and other emergencies. AWS also provided technology to support the nonprofit Help.NGO to fight wildfires in Chile and Colombia, including monitoring active fires, spotting new fires, and evaluating how best to help evacuated residents return to their homes. Since 2017, Amazon has used its global inventory, logistics infrastructure, and cloud technology to respond to more than 145 natural disasters and donate more than 24 million relief items globally.
Increased funding for the AWS Health Equity Initiative by $20 million, bringing its commitment since the program launched in 2021 to $60 million. This program provides free cloud credits and technical expertise to help organizations harness the power of the cloud to advance global health. It has supported 263 organizations globally since 2021.
Was named the largest corporate purchaser of renewable energy by BloombergNEF for the fourth consecutive year. Amazon now has more than 500 wind and solar projects globally that are expected to generate more than 77,000 gigawatt-hours of clean energy each year--or enough to power 7.2 million U.S. homes.
Announced that nearly half of all customer orders fulfilled in India are delivered in reduced or original packaging--meaning less packaging is needed to ensure the deliveries arrive safely, which is better for customers and the environment. Deliveries with reduced or no additional packaging are reaching customers in more than 300 cities across India, up from nine cities in 2019.
Invested in Glacier, a women-led AI and robotics company that helps the recycling industry reduce waste by automating, sorting, and collecting real-time data on recycling streams. The investment is part of Amazon's Climate Pledge Fund, and is the second woman CEO-led company that The Fund has invested in as part of its $53 million Female Founder Initiative, which launched in 2022 to close the funding gap for women in climate tech.
Financial Guidance
The following forward-looking statements reflect Amazon.com's expectations as of April 30, 2024, and are subject to substantial uncertainty. Our results are inherently unpredictable and may be materially affected by many factors, such as fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, changes in global economic and geopolitical conditions and customer demand and spending (including the impact of recessionary fears), inflation, interest rates, regional labor market constraints, world events, the rate of growth of the internet, online commerce, cloud services, and new and emerging technologies, and the various factors detailed below.
Second Quarter 2024 Guidance
Net sales are expected to be between $144.0 billion and $149.0 billion, or to grow between 7% and 11% compared with second quarter 2023. This guidance anticipates an unfavorable impact of approximately 60 basis points from foreign exchange rates. In first quarter 2024 the impact from Leap Year added approximately 120 basis points to the year-over-year net sales growth rate.
Operating income is expected to be between $10.0 billion and $14.0 billion, compared with $7.7 billion in second quarter 2023.
This guidance assumes, among other things, that no additional business acquisitions, restructurings, or legal settlements are concluded.
A conference call will be webcast live today at 2:30 p.m. PT/5:30 p.m. ET, and will be available for at least three months at amazon.com/ir. This call will contain forward-looking statements and other material information regarding the Company's financial and operating results.
These forward-looking statements are inherently difficult to predict. Actual results and outcomes could differ materially for a variety of reasons, including, in addition to the factors discussed above, the amount that Amazon.com invests in new business opportunities and the timing of those investments, the mix of products and services sold to customers, the mix of net sales derived from products as compared with services, the extent to which we owe income or other taxes, competition, management of growth, potential fluctuations in operating results, international growth and expansion, the outcomes of claims, litigation, government investigations, and other proceedings, fulfillment, sortation, delivery, and data center optimization, risks of inventory management, variability in demand, the degree to which the Company enters into, maintains, and develops commercial agreements, proposed and completed acquisitions and strategic transactions, payments risks, and risks of fulfillment throughput and productivity. Other risks and uncertainties include, among others, risks related to new products, services, and technologies, security breaches, system interruptions, government regulation and taxation, and fraud. In addition, global economic and geopolitical conditions and additional or unforeseen circumstances, developments, or events may give rise to or amplify many of these risks. More information about factors that potentially could affect Amazon.com's financial results is included in Amazon.com's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings.
Our investor relations website is amazon.com/ir and we encourage investors to use it as a way of easily finding information about us. We promptly make available on this website, free of charge, the reports that we file or furnish with the SEC, corporate governance information (including our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics), and select press releases, which may contain material information about us, and you may subscribe to be notified of new information posted to this site.
