Charts & IllustrationsFinancials for the Last Five Quarters
Net income fell year-over-year due to a US$6.19 billion write-down of goodwill in the Online Services Division and deferral of revenue in the Windows and Windows Live Division. This chart compares key quarterly financial measurements for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 through the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
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.
