Impact of COVID
• COVID‐19 positively impacted AMZN on the 
top line, as groceries, online shopping, and 
AWS all grew meaningfully
• AWS is assisting small businesses, 
governments, educators, and healthcare 
organizations in responding to COVID‐19
• While AWS growth continues to increase 
steadily, post‐COIVD impact will vary by 
industry
• Overall, COVID‐19 impacted Microsoft 
business minimally, with the Intelligent 
Cloud Segment actually beating revenue 
forecast by 4.2% ($12.3Bn vs. $11.8Bn)
• As more customers shift to work from 
home, cloud usage increased across many 
segments including Teams and Azure
• Overall, Azure is performing well and 
seeing tailwinds in reaction to accelerated 
digital transformation, though Microsoft 
remains committed to staying 
operationally disciplined with strategic 
investments
• As COVID‐19 has shifted many new 
businesses online, Google Cloud has seen 
accelerated traction across sectors from 
health care to retailers to supply chain
• Google remains thoughtful about the near‐
term but focused on the long‐term, and 
will reduce hiring plans for FY2020. Most 
investment will focus on vectors of growth 
such as Search, Cloud, and ML
• GCP growth and customer adoption 
remains strong through COVID‐19. 
• Closing times of larger deals are being 
impacted negatively

wide customer base and several industry verticals
• Backlog of future customer contracts continues to grow and their ability to provide services have not been impeded 
by COVID‐19 yet

Summary 
Outlook
• Management highlights their ability to continuously expand the useful life of their servers and other datacenter 
equipment, noting this is a benefit for their AWS business and potentially suggesting less of a need for substantial 
CapEx in the near term

Theme Commentary
Financials
• Azure revenue increased 61% Y/Y FX‐neutral (revenue figures not disclosed), down from a 64% Y/Y last quarter and 75% Y/Y 
in Q3 FY2019
• Commercial Cloud and Azure revenue growth propelled by COVID‐19, as enterprises transition to WFH and deploy Office 
365 instances, virtual desktops and applications on Windows Virtual Desktop and Azure infrastructure
• Despite supply chain constraints, there was continued investment in CapEx of $3.9B (including assets acquired under 
finance leases), up 15% Y/Y. Capex investments have proven valuable as usage has increased, and continued aggressive 
infrastructure investment is expected
Product

security features to protect Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

• Demand for Azure Active Directory has increased to 300 million active users as companies need secure remote identity and 
access management

Blackrock, ABInBev, Mars and the NBA
• Microsoft healthcare bot service is helping over 27M people access healthcare information. Organizations from the CDC to 
Adaptive Biotechnologies to ImmunityBio are using Microsoft for multiple COVID‐response measures from self‐
assessments to decoding immune responses 
• For telecom, New Azure Edge Zones extends Azure to the network edge, connecting directly with carrier’s 5G networks to 
enable immersive, real‐time experiences that require ultra‐low latency
Summary 
Outlook
• Expect some growth moderation across specific Azure deployments in industries most susceptible to COVID‐19 shutdown
• On balance, expect to continue to see a surge in demand for cloud and Azure services, and as a result believe Q4 FY2020 
CapEx will be “healthy” in order to get in front of demand
• Management noted “As COVID‐19 impacts every aspect of our work and life, we have seen two years’ worth of digital 
transformation in two months”, further highlighting the shift towards cloud services

Theme Commentary
Financials
• Google Cloud continues to grow meaningfully at 52% Y/Y to $2.8Bn vs. 53% Y/Y growth in Q4 2019
• GCP growth rate meaningfully higher than consolidated Google cloud Y/Y revenue growth, which was weighed down 
by G Suite Y/Y growth
• Google Cloud’s financial profile was impacted much less than other lines of business, most notably their advertising 
segment
Product
• GA of Google Anthos, an open application platform to accelerate application development in multi‐cloud or hybrid 
environments
• GCP growth and customer adoption led by infrastructure offerings and broad data and analytics product suite
• More broadly, Google product suite seeing increased adoption during WFH environment. Most notably, Google Meet 
is adding 3M new users easy day and witnessed 30x usage increase since January 2020. 100M daily meeting 
participants utilizing their service
Customers
• Google Cloud has formed deep partnerships with leader healthcare providers, such as HCA Healthcare and Cambridge 
Health Alliance to better understand data related to COVID‐19 such as ICU bed availability, ventilators supplies, and 
test results as well as management of their 140K+ patients
• Google is helping governments deliver critical health and social services, supporting NY’s new online unemployment 
application system, and assisting companies like Loblaw's and Wayfair scale to support exponential traffic increases
• Notable customers building on GCP include Vodafone, Unity Technologies, Lloyd’s Bank, Netflix, Twitter, Accenture, 
AT&T and Shopify
Summary 
Outlook
• Expect modest decrease in the level of CapEx in 2020 relative to 2019.  However, management notes the biggest 
contributing factor is their decrease in appetite for office facility investment and build‐outs.  No further detail on how 
this will specifically effect datacenter construction
• Moving forward, continued resources and focus will be placed on Google Cloud as it remains a major growth lever 
long‐term. Management notes most sizeable head count increases are sales and technical roles in Google Cloud 
division
• Management did not provide quantitative forward guidance on Google Cloud revenue or profitability
