Financials for the Last Five Quarters

Net income increased year-over-year with significant revenue growth. This chart compares key financial measurements for the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 through the third quarter of fiscal year 2010.

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, gains and losses from investments, or gains and losses from foreign currency adjustments. However, it does include the cost of legal settlements and employee severance charges.
