Net income increased year-over-year with significant revenue growth. Shown here are key financial measurements for the company in the 2010 and 2011 fiscal years. Currency figures other than earnings per share are in millions of U.S. dollars.

Note that operating income measures Microsoft’s revenue from normal operations minus the everyday costs of doing business. Unlike net income, operating income does not include taxes, interest paid or received, gains and losses from investments, or gains and losses from foreign currency adjustments.
