“Our conviction that AI will change every customer experience is starting to play out as we’ve expanded Alexa+ to millions of customers, continue to see our shopping agent used by many millions of customers, launched AI models like DeepFleet that optimize productivity paths for our 1M+ robots, made it much easier for software developers to write code with Kiro (our new agentic IDE), launched Strands to make it easier to build AI agents, and released Bedrock AgentCore to enable agents to be operated securely and scalably”, highlighted Andy Jassy, President and CEO of Amazon.

Second Quarter Results

In the second quarter of the current year, the company’s net sales increased by 13%, as compared to the same period of 2024, reaching 167.7 billion US dollars. Excluding the unfavourable impact of year-on-year changes in foreign exchange rates, which amounted to 1.5 billion US dollars, net sales increased by 12%.

The North American segment accounted for 100.1 billion US dollars of total second quarter net sales, up by 11% year-on-year, and the International segment accounted for 36.8 billion US dollars, up by 16% year-on-year (or by 11% excluding changes in foreign exchange rates). Meanwhile, the AWS (Amazon Web Services) segment contributed 30.0 billion US dollars, marking a 17.5% year-on-year increase.

In the second quarter of 2025, Amazon reported an operating income of 19.2 billion US dollars, which is comparable to the 14.7 billion US dollars reported in the second quarter of the previous year.

The company’s net income was 18.2 billion US dollars during the second quarter, equivalent to 1.68 US dollars per diluted share. This is an increase on the 13.5 billion US dollars, equivalent to 1.26 US dollars per diluted share, recorded in the same quarter of 2024.

Amazon’s operating cash flow increased by 12% to 121.1 billion US dollars in the twelve months ending on the 30th of June, up from 108.0 billion US dollars in the same period last year. However, free cash flow decreased to 18.2 billion US dollars in the same period, down from 53.0 billion US dollars in the twelve months ending on the 30th of June 2024.

“Our AI progress across the board continues to improve our customer experiences, speed of innovation, operational efficiency, and business growth, and I’m excited for what lies ahead”, concluded Andy Jassy.
