This presentation may contain forward-looking statements which are inherentlydifficult to predict. Actual results could differ materially for a variety of reasons,including fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, changes in global economicconditions and customer spending, world events, the rate of growth of theInternet, online commerce, and cloud services, the amount that Amazon.cominvests in new business opportunities and the timing of those investments, themix of products and services sold to customers, the mix of net sales derivedfrom products as compared with services, the extent to which we owe incomeor other taxes, competition, management of growth, potential fluctuations inoperating results, international growth and expansion, the outcomes of legalproceedings and claims, fulfillment, sortation, delivery, and data centeroptimization, risks of inventory management, seasonality, the degree to whichthe Company enters into, maintains, and develops commercial agreements,proposed and completed acquisitions and strategic transactions, paymentsrisks, and risks of fulfillment throughput and productivity. Other risks anduncertainties include, among others, risks related to new products, services,and technologies, system interruptions, government regulation and taxation,and fraud. In addition, the current global economic climate amplifies many ofthese risks. More information about factors that potentially could affectAmazon.com’s financial results is included in Amazon.com’s filings with theSecurities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent Annual Reporton Form 10-K and subsequent filings.

Additional information relating to certain of our financial measures containedherein, including non-GAAP financial measures, is available in the appendix toour presentation, our most recent earnings release and at our website atwww.amazon.com/ir.

Free Cash Flow -- TTM (1) (2) (3)

(1) Free cash flow is cash flow from operations reduced by “Purchases of property and equipment, including internal-use software

and website development, net of proceeds from property and equipment incentives,” which both are included in cash flow from

investing activities. See Appendix for a reconciliation of operating cash flow to free cash flow.

(2) Trailing twelve-month period.

(3) As a result of accounting guidance adopted in Q1 2017, we retrospectively adjusted our consolidated statements of cash flows to

reclassify excess tax benefits from financing activities to operating activities. The amount of the adjustment was $829 million for

TTM Q4 2016.

(4) Operating cash flow grew 7% Y/Y.

Free Cash Flow Less Lease Principal Repayments -- TTM (1) (2)

(1) Free cash flow less lease principal repayments is free cash flow reduced by “Principal repayments of capital lease obligations,” and

“Principal repayments of finance lease obligations,” which are included in cash flow from financing activities. See Appendix for a

reconciliation of operating cash flow to free cash flow less lease principal repayments.

(2) As a result of accounting guidance adopted in Q1 2017, we retrospectively adjusted our consolidated statements of cash flows to

reclassify excess tax benefits from financing activities to operating activities. The amount of the adjustment was $829 million for TTM Q4

Free Cash Flow Less Finance Lease Principal Repayments and

Assets Acquired Under Capital Leases -- TTM (1) (2) (3)

(1) Free cash flow less finance lease principal repayments and assets acquired under capital leases is free cash flow reduced by “Principal

repayments of finance lease obligations,” which is included in cash flow from financing activities, and property and equipment acquired under

capital leases. In this measure, property and equipment acquired under capital leases is reflected as if these assets had been purchased with

cash, which is not the case as these assets have been leased. See Appendix for a reconciliation of operating cash flow to free cash flow less

finance lease principal repayments and assets acquired under capital leases.
