“The holiday shopping season was the most successful yet for Amazon and we appreciate the support of our customers, selling partners, and employees who helped make it so,” said Andy Jassy, President and CEO, Amazon. “When we look back on this quarter several years from now, I suspect what we’ll most remember is the remarkable innovation delivered across all of our businesses, none more so than in AWS where we introduced our new Trainium2 AI chip, our own foundation models in Amazon Nova, a plethora of new models and features in Amazon Bedrock that give customers flexibility and cost savings, liberating transformations in Amazon Q to migrate from old platforms, and the next edition of Amazon SageMaker to pull data, analytics, and AI together more concertedly. These benefits are often realized by customers (and the business) several months down the road, but these are substantial enablers in this emerging technology environment and we’re excited to see what customers build.”

Some other highlights since the company’s last earnings announcement include that Amazon:

  • Delivered at its fastest speeds ever for Prime members in 2024.
  • Delivered over 65% more items to U.S. Prime members the same day or overnight than in Q4 2023.
  • Held a record-breaking Black Friday Week and Cyber Monday deal event that was also the largest ever for independent sellers in Amazon’s store.
  • Was named lowest-priced U.S. retailer by Profitero for the eighth year in a row. The study found Amazon’s online prices were an average of 14% less than other major U.S. retailers.

  • Drew 50 million worldwide viewers to Red One in its first four days, making it Amazon MGM Studios’ most-watched film debut ever on Prime Video.
  • Finished third season of Thursday Night Football on Prime Video with a full-season average of 13.2 million viewers according to Nielsen—an 11% increase over 2023—and a peak of 24.7 million during the Wild Card playoff game between the Steelers and Ravens.
  • Had the biggest Q4 for Kindle device sales in over a decade, with a new lineup of Kindles driving a 30% year-over-year increase in devices sold.
  • Held 13th AWS re:Invent, with 55,000+ in-person attendees and 1.8 million livestream viewers.
  • Announced a plethora of new AWS capabilities, including:
    • Amazon Nova: Amazon’s own family of foundation models that compare favorably in intelligence against the leading models in the world, but offer lower latency, lower price, and integration with key Bedrock features like fine-tuning, model distillation, knowledge bases, and agentic capabilities. Thousands of customers are already using Nova, including Deloitte, SAP, Robinhood, Palantir Technologies, Dentsu Digital, AppFolio, Fortinet, Trellix, 123RF, Envato, Pattern, and Ativion.
    • General Availability of Trainium2: EC2 Trn2 instances, powered by Trainium2 AI chips, offer 30-40% better price-performance than current generations of GPU-based instances.
    • Trainium2 UltraServers: A new type of EC2 Trn2 offering using ultra-fast networking to connect four Trn2 servers into an extra large server, enabling even faster training and inference on AWS.
    • Project Rainier: A collaboration with Anthropic using hundreds of thousands of Trainium2 chips to build the world’s largest AI compute cluster.
    • New leading foundation models in Amazon Bedrock from DeepSeek, Luma AI, and poolside.

    • New Amazon Q Transformations that make it easy to move from Windows .NET applications to Linux, VMware to EC2, and accelerates mainframe migrations from multi-year to multi-quarter efforts.
    • Amazon Aurora DSQL: The fastest distributed database with 99.999% multi-Region availability, virtually unlimited scalability, strong consistency, zero infrastructure management, PostgreSQL compatibility, and 4x faster reads and writes vs. other popular distributed SQL databases.
    • S3 Tables, making S3 the first cloud object store with fully-managed support for Apache Iceberg.
    • S3 Metadata, automatically generating queryable metadata, simplifying data discovery, business analytics, and real-time inference to help customers unlock the value of their data in S3.
    • The next generation of Amazon SageMaker, which brings together all of the data, analytics services and AI services into one interface to do analytics and AI more easily at scale.

Financial Guidance
The following forward-looking statements reflect Amazon.com’s expectations as of February 6, 2025, 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.

First Quarter 2025 Guidance

  • Net sales are expected to be between $151.0 billion and $155.5 billion, or to grow between 5% and 9% compared with first quarter 2024. This guidance anticipates an unusually large, unfavorable impact of approximately $2.1 billion, or 150 basis points, from foreign exchange rates. Also, as a reminder, in first quarter 2024 the impact from Leap Year added approximately $1.5 billion in net sales.
  • Operating income is expected to be between $14.0 billion and $18.0 billion, compared with $15.3 billion in first quarter 2024.
  • This guidance assumes, among other things, that no additional business acquisitions, restructurings, or legal settlements are concluded.

Conference Call Information
A conference call will be webcast live today at 2:00 p.m. PT/5:00 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.

Forward-Looking Statements
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 incidents, 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.

Additional Information
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.

About Amazon

Amazon strives to be Earth’s Most Customer-Centric Company, Earth’s Best Employer, and Earth’s Safest Place to Work. Customer reviews, 1-Click shopping, personalized recommendations, Prime, Fulfillment by Amazon, AWS, Kindle Direct Publishing, Kindle, Career Choice, Fire tablets, Fire TV, Amazon Echo, Alexa, Just Walk Out technology, Amazon Studios, and The Climate Pledge are some of the things pioneered by Amazon.
