Financial Guidance
The following forward-looking statements reflect Amazon.com’s
expectations as of January 30, 2014, 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 conditions and consumer
spending, world events, the rate of growth of the Internet and online
commerce, and the various factors detailed below.
First Quarter 2014 Guidance
-
Net sales are expected to be between $18.2 billion and $19.9 billion,
or to grow between 13% and 24% compared with first quarter 2013.
-
Operating income (loss) is expected to be between $(200) million and
$200 million, compared to $181 million in first quarter 2013.
-
This guidance includes approximately $350 million for stock-based
compensation and amortization of intangible assets, and it assumes,
among other things, that no additional business acquisitions,
investments, restructurings, or legal settlements are concluded and
that there are no further revisions to stock-based compensation
estimates.
A conference call will be webcast live today at 2 p.m. PT/5 p.m. ET, and
will be available for at least three months at www.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 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 sold to customers, the mix of net sales
derived from products as compared with services, the extent to which we
owe income taxes, competition, management of growth, potential
fluctuations in operating results, international growth and expansion,
the outcomes of legal proceedings and claims, fulfillment and data
center optimization, risks of inventory management, seasonality, the
degree to which the Company enters into, maintains, and develops
commercial agreements, 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, system interruptions, government regulation
and taxation, and fraud. In addition, the current global economic
climate amplifies 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 www.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 and social media postings.
