Findings

structure · concentration · cost lever
  • AWS is the narrowest bar by revenue (~$129bn) but the tallest by margin (~35%) — its area (profit) dwarfs the rest.
  • North America is huge by revenue (~$426bn) but thin (~7%); a wide, short bar.
  • International only recently turned profitable (~3%).
  • Only EBIT is tagged by segment — no gross/COGS split — so the ladder stops at operating income.

Segment walk — two options

Two stages for the same verified walk (AMZN: 3 segments · Revenue, EBIT · Geographical). Same numbers, same switches — only the arrangement differs.
o1
Option 1 — walk + interpretation
The walk takes 60% of the stage; findings, method and provenance sit on the right. One page, one argument — the switches carry the depth.
b09-60-40
o2
Option 2 — walk left, build-up right
Two equal fields: the walk on the left, the per-segment contribution table on the right. Picture and arithmetic side by side.

Findings, method and provenance

  • Reading the chart as delivered — Revenue, by segment, vs FY−1: group revenue moved 638.0 → 716.9bn (+79.0bn) between FY24 and FY25. The switches change the view, not these numbers.
  • North America carried the move: 387.5 → 426.3bn (+38.8bn). Next was Amazon Web Services at +21.2bn.
  • Named segments explain +79.0bn of the +79.0bn; the residual +0.0bn is corporate and intersegment eliminations — the walk closes on the reported group figure.
  • Ladder levels this firm actually tags: Revenue, EBIT; second lens available and reconciling: Geographical.

Segment values from the SEC EDGAR segment axis, operating rows only (OperatingSegments preferred over bare members to avoid double-counting; aggregation artifacts skipped). Volume/margin split is order-neutral: vol = ½·Δrev·(m₀+m₁), margin = ½·(r₀+r₁)·Δm. Group anchor from the consolidated P&L (kpi).

Driver walk — two variants

Two stages for the same verified walk (AMZN: Gross profit, EBITDA*, EBIT, Pre-tax, Net income · 6 FY). Same numbers, same switches — only the arrangement differs.
v1
Variant 1 — bridge + interpretation
The bridge takes 60% of the stage; findings, method and provenance on the right. The switches carry the depth: level, scale, detail, method, window.
b09-60-40
v2
Variant 2 — bridge over the common-size P&L
The bridge as a wide band on top, the growing common-size P&L of both compared years below ($bn, % of revenue, Δpp) — every bar is verifiable in the table.

Driver walk — volume vs margin, margin by driver

Driver walk — volume, margin and the cost drivers behind it

$bn / pp
68.68.89.1−6.680.0FY2468.6VolumeCost ofrevenueOperat-ingexpensesFY2580.0

Findings, method and provenance

  • Reading the chart as delivered — EBIT, by driver, $bn, vs FY−1: ebit moved 68.6 → 80.0bn (+11.4bn) from FY24 to FY25.
  • Split: volume +8.8bn (revenue 638.0 → 716.9bn) against margin +2.6bn (margin 10.8% → 11.2%, +0.4pp) — volume carried it.
  • Margin drivers: Cost of revenue +9.13bn, Operating expenses -6.56bn.
  • Levels available for this firm: Gross profit, EBITDA*, EBIT, Pre-tax, Net income. Windows: vs FY−1 … FY−3.

Consolidated P&L from SEC EDGAR companyfacts (annual durations only). Driver contribution of a cost step = −Rev₀·Δ(step/Rev); tagged sub-lines are itemised and reconcile to the step. Volume/margin: margin-first = Δrev·m₁ and r₀·Δm; Shapley = ½·Δrev·(m₀+m₁) and ½·(r₀+r₁)·Δm — both sum exactly to ΔP. In pp scale the volume effect is zero by construction.

Operating walk — three separate analyses

Three separate analyses (AMZN: Gross profit, EBITDA, EBIT · 6 FY). Every bridge closes exactly on the reported figure; what the firm does not tag is visibly switched off.
1
Operating — the same move, two readings
The bridge to operating profit, switchable between cost drivers and segments. The bracket between driver and segment walk: WHAT moved and WHO moved, one anchor.
b09-60-40
2
Financing & tax — from EBIT to the bottom line
Non-operating result, then tax separated into the rate effect and the higher-base effect — together they equal the tax change exactly.
b09-60-40
3
Exceptionals — reported versus adjusted
Restructuring, impairments, disposals, acquisition costs — only what the firm actually tags. Nothing tagged is a finding too.

Findings, method and provenance

  • Operating. EBIT 68.6 → 80.0bn (+11.4bn). The same move reads two ways — by cost driver or by segment; both anchor on the reported group figure.
  • Financing & tax. Net income 59.2 → 77.7bn. Effective tax rate 13.5% → 19.7% (+6.2pp): rate effect -6.0bn, tax on the higher base -3.8bn — the rate moved the needle.
  • Exceptionals. Asset impairment 1.30bn — adjusting them out moves the operating result by +1.3bn.

Consolidated P&L from SEC EDGAR companyfacts; segment view from the segment axis (operating rows only). Tax is split rate-versus-base: rate effect = −EBT₁·Δr, base effect = −ΔEBT·r₀ — together they equal the total tax change exactly. Exceptionals cover restructuring, goodwill and asset impairment, disposal gains/losses and acquisition costs, each only where the firm tags it.

Findings, method and provenance

  • Leverage moved down from 0.48× to 0.47× (FY24 → FY25).
  • Split, order-neutral: debt effect +0.08×, EBITDA effect -0.09× — the earnings flow did the heavier lifting.
  • Net debt -18.0bn against EBITDA 145.7bn; cash 86.8bn offsets gross debt 68.9bn.
  • AMZN holds net cash (-18.0bn): net leverage is not a meaningful constraint. The walk therefore runs on gross debt / EBITDA — still the honest measure of the borrowing stock against the earnings flow.
  • On a trailing-twelve-month basis the ratio reads 0.78× at 2026-03-31 — quarterly components are unwound from year-to-date filings (Q2 = H1 − Q1, Q3 = 9M − H1, Q4 = FY − 9M); every four-quarter sum ties to the reported fiscal year.

Two-factor Shapley decomposition (order-neutral): debt effect = ½·(ND₁−ND₀)·(1/E₀+1/E₁), EBITDA effect = ½·(ND₀+ND₁)·(1/E₁−1/E₀). Source: SEC EDGAR companyfacts, fiscal-year-end instants and full-year flows.

−50510152025FY21FY22FY23FY24FY25ROE24.1−1.915.120.718.9

Findings, method and provenance

  • Return on equity 18.9% (-1.8pp vs FY24).
  • DuPont. margin +3.1pp, asset turnover -3.0pp, equity multiplier -1.9pp — margin did the most work. Margin 9.3% → 10.8%, turnover 1.02 → 0.88×, multiplier 2.19 → 1.99×.
  • ROIC 16.4% — NOPAT (EBIT at the effective tax rate) over equity plus debt less cash; the measure that ignores how the mix is financed.
  • Capital returned — none: AMZN tags neither repurchases nor dividends in the latest year. Cash stays in the business.

All inputs from the same statement layer as the P&L, balance sheet and cash-flow slides. ROE = net income / equity · ROA = net income / assets · ROIC = EBIT·(1 − effective tax rate) / (equity + debt − cash). DuPont splits ΔROE into margin × asset turnover × equity multiplier using the order-neutral Shapley decomposition for a three-factor product — the three contributions sum to the ROE change exactly.

Discussion, findings and sources

Discussion — what this deck says in four sentences

  • Size and direction. Revenue FY25 716.9bn (+12% vs FY24), net income 77.7bn.
  • Who moved it. 3 segments; the swing came from North America at +38.8bn of a +79.0bn group change.
  • What moved it. EBIT 68.6 → 80.0bn: volume +8.8, margin +2.6bn (10.8% → 11.2%) — volume carried it.
  • How it is funded. Net cash -18.0bn — leverage is not a binding constraint; the walk runs on gross debt (0.47×).

Sources & limitations — including what does not work

Sources
  • SEC EDGAR companyfacts, fully loaded (extend_facts) into p1_AMZN.sqlite; annual and quarterly durations separated by period length; segment values from the segment axis.
  • Charts throughout via chartsmcp (never hand-written SVG); slot size = viewBox ÷ k so labels land at 11 px in the deck.
Limitations
  • Statements: 5 fiscal years + 8 quarters. Quarterly values unwound from year-to-date filings (Q2 = H1 − Q1 …); fiscal Q4 is derived, EPS Q4 left blank (not additive).
  • Segments: this firm tags the levels Revenue, EBIT — the filing carries no more; untagged levels are never estimated.
  • Leverage walk runs on gross debt (net cash position); the cash-flow nesting explains net debt and is deliberately switched off there.
  • LTM series: quarterly EBITDA from unwound quarters; every four-quarter sum ties to the reported fiscal year.
  • Not included: market data (price, multiples) and macro series — neither is in companyfacts; including them would mean inventing content.
