1:Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and EstimatesFinancial Statement PreparationThe unaudited consolidated financial statements as of December 31,2023,and for the quarters ended December 31,2023 and January 1,2023,have beenprepared by Starbucks Corporation under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission(“SEC”).In the opinion of management,thefinancial information for the quarters ended December 31,2023 and January 1,2023 reflects all adjustments and accruals,which are of a normal recurringnature,necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position,results of operations,and cash flows for the interim periods.In this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q(“10-Q”),Starbucks Corporation is referred to as“Starbucks,”the“Company,”“we,”“us,”or“our.”Segment information is prepared on the same basis that our management reviews financial information for operational decision-making purposes.The financial information as of October 1,2023 is derived from our audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended October 1,2023(“fiscal 2023”)included in Item 8 in the fiscal 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K(“10-K”).The information included in this 10-Q should be read inconjunction with the footnotes and managements discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial statements in the 10-K.The results of operations for the quarter ended December 31,2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved for the entirefiscal year ending September 29,2024(“fiscal 2024”).Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet AdoptedIn November 2023,the Financial Accounting Standards Board(“FASB”)issued guidance expanding segment disclosure requirements.The amendmentsrequire enhanced disclosure for certain segment items and required disclosure on how management uses reported measures to assess segment performance.Theamendments do not change how segments are determined,aggregated,or how thresholds are applied to determine reportable segments.We expect to adopt theguidance for the fiscal year ending September 28,2025.We are currently evaluating the expanded disclosure requirements and do not expect the adoption ofthe amendments to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.In December 2023,the FASB issued guidance expanding disclosure requirements related to income taxes.The amendments require enhanced jurisdictionaldisclosures for the income tax rate reconciliation and related to cash income taxes paid.Additionally,specific disclosures related to unrecognized tax benefitsand indefinite reinvestment assertions were removed.The amendments are effective for our fiscal year ending September 27,2026.While we are stillevaluating the specific impacts and timing of adoption,we anticipate this guidance will have a significant impact on our annual income tax disclosures.Note 2:Derivative Financial InstrumentsInterest RatesFrom time to time,we enter into designated cash flow hedges to manage the variability in cash flows due to changes in benchmark interest rates.We enter intointerest rate swap agreements,including forward-starting interest rate swaps and treasury locks,settled in cash based upon the difference between an agreed-upon benchmark rate and the prevailing benchmark rate at settlement.These agreements are generally settled around the time of the pricing of the related debt.Each derivative agreements gain or loss is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income(“AOCI”)and is subsequently reclassified to interest expenseover the life of the related debt.To hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt,we enter into interest rate swap agreements,which are designated as fair value hedges.The changes in fair values of these derivative instruments and the offsetting changes in fair values of the underlying hedged debt due to changes in the relevantbenchmark interest rates are recorded in interest expense.Refer to Note 7,Debt,for additional information on our long-term debt.9Table of ContentsForeign CurrencyTo reduce cash flow volatility from foreign currency fluctuations,we enter into forward and swap contracts to hedge portions of cash flows of anticipatedintercompany royalty payments,inventory purchases,and intercompany borrowing and lending activities.The resulting gains and losses from these derivativesare recorded in AOCI and subsequently reclassified to revenue,product and distribution costs,or interest income and other,net,respectively,when the hedgedexposures affect net earnings.From time to time,we may enter into financial instruments,including,but not limited to,forward and swap contracts or foreign currency-denominated debt,tohedge the currency exposure of our net investments in certain international operations.The resulting gains and losses from these derivatives are recorded inAOCI and are subsequently reclassified to net earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated.Gains and losses from thesederivatives representing hedged components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are amortized over the life of the hedging instrument using asystematic and rational method and recognized in interest expense.Foreign currency forward and swap contracts not designated as hedging instruments are used to mitigate the foreign exchange risk of certain other balancesheet items.Gains and losses from these derivatives are largely offset by the financial impact of translating foreign currency-denominated payables andreceivables,and these gains and losses are recorded in interest income and other,net.CommoditiesDepending on market conditions,we may enter into coffee forward contracts,futures contracts,and collars to hedge anticipated cash flows under our price-to-be-fixed green coffee contracts,which are described further in Note 4,Inventories,or our longer-dated forecasted coffee demand where underlying fixed priceand price-to-be-fixed contracts are not yet available.The resulting gains and losses are recorded in AOCI and are subsequently reclassified to product anddistribution costs when the hedged exposure affects net earnings.Depending on market conditions,we may also enter into dairy forward contracts and futures contracts to hedge a portion of anticipated cash flows under ourdairy purchase contracts and our forecasted dairy demand.The resulting gains or losses are recorded in AOCI and are subsequently reclassified to product anddistribution costs when the hedged exposure affects net earnings.Cash flow hedges related to anticipated transactions are designated and documented at the inception of each hedge.Cash flows from hedging transactions areclassified in the same categories as the cash flows from the respective hedged items.For de-designated cash flow hedges in which the underlying transactionsare no longer probable of occurring,the related accumulated derivative gains or losses are recognized in interest income and other,net on our consolidatedstatements of earnings.These derivatives may be accounted for prospectively as non-designated derivatives until maturity,re-designated to new hedgingrelationships,or terminated early.We continue to believe transactions related to our other designated cash flow hedges are probable to occur.To mitigate the price uncertainty of a portion of our future purchases,including diesel fuel and other commodities,we enter into swap contracts,futures,andcollars that are not designated as hedging instruments.The resulting gains and losses are recorded in interest income and other,net to help offset pricefluctuations on our beverage,food,packaging,and transportation costs,which are included in product and distribution costs on our consolidated statements ofearnings.10Table of ContentsGains and

committed to purchasing green coffee totaling$396.4 million under fixed-price contracts and an estimated$843.7 millionunder price-to-be-fixed contracts.A portion of our price-to-be-fixed contracts are effectively fixed through the use of futures.See Note 2,Derivative FinancialInstruments,for further discussion.Price-to-be-fixed contracts are purchase commitments whereby the quality,quantity,delivery period,and other negotiatedterms are agreed upon,but the date,and therefore the price,at which the base“C”coffee commodity price component will be fixed has not yet beenestablished.For most contracts,either Starbucks or the seller has the option to“fix”the base“C”coffee commodity price prior to the delivery date.For othercontracts,Starbucks and the seller may agree upon pricing parameters determined by the base“C”coffee commodity price.Until prices are fixed,we estimatethe total cost of these purchase commitments.We believe,based on established relationships with our suppliers and continuous monitoring,the risk of non-delivery on these purchase commitments is remote.Note 5:Supplemental Balance Sheet and Statement of Earnings Information(in

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(“MD&A”),contained in the 10-K filed with the SEC on November 17,2023.25Table of ContentsIntroduction and OverviewStarbucks is the premier roaster,marketer,and retailer of specialty coffee in the world,operating in 86 markets.As of December 31,2023,Starbucks had morethan 38,500 company-operated and licensed stores,an increase of 7%from the prior year.Additionally,we sell a variety of consumer-packaged goods,primarily through the Global Coffee Alliance established with Nestl and other partnerships and joint ventures.We have three reportable operating segments:1)North America,which is inclusive of the U.S.and Canada;2)International,which is inclusive of China,Japan,Asia Pacific,Europe,Middle East,Africa,Latin America,and the Caribbean;and 3)Channel Development.Unallocated corporate expenses are reportedwithin Corporate and Other.We believe our financial results and long-term growth model will continue to be driven by new store openings,comparable store sales growth,and operatingmargin management,underpinned by disciplined capital allocation.We believe these key operating metrics are useful to investors because management usesthese metrics to assess the growth of our business and the effectiveness of our marketing and operational strategies.Throughout this MD&A,we commonlydiscuss the following key operating metrics:New store openings and store countComparable store sales growthOperating marginComparable store sales growth represents the percentage change in sales in one period from the same prior year period for company-operated stores open for13 months or longer and excludes the impact of foreign currency translation.We analyze comparable store sales growth on a constant currency basis as thishelps identify underlying business trends,without distortion from the effects of currency movements.Stores that are temporarily closed or operating at reducedhours remain in comparable store sales while stores identified for permanent closure have been removed.Our fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to September 30.Fiscal 2024 and 2023 include 52 weeks.All references to store counts,including data for new storeopenings,are reported net of store closures,unless otherwise noted.Starbucks results for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 continue to demonstrate the overall strength of our brand and efficiencies realized from Reinvention,despite certain headwinds.Consolidated net revenues increased 8%to$9.4 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to$8.7 billion in the first quarterof fiscal 2023,primarily driven by growth in our North America business and our International segment,largely related to lapping prior year COVID-19pandemic-related business disruptions in China.During the quarter ended December 31,2023,our global comparable store sales grew 5%,primarily driven by5%growth in the U.S.market and 7%growth internationally,demonstrating the endurance of the Starbucks brand globally.Consolidated operating marginincreased 140 basis points from the prior year to 15.8%,primarily driven by sales leverage and in-store operational efficiencies.These increases were partiallyoffset by increased investments in store partner wages and benefits,as well as higher general and administrative expenses,primarily in support of Reinvention.We anticipate these headwinds experienced in the first quarter of fiscal 2024,although transitory,may continue to impact the balance of our fiscal year.Despitethese transitory headwinds,we remain confident in our long-term growth and durable business model,as our Triple Shot Reinvention is unlocking multiplelevers to drive balanced earnings growth,as evidenced in our first quarter of fiscal 2024 results.Results of Operations(in millions)Revenues Quarter EndedDec 31,2023Jan 1,2023$Change%ChangeCompany-operated stores$7,755.2$7,083.5$671.7 9.5%Licensed stores1,192.1

letters of credit,is currently set to mature on September 16,2026.The 2021 credit facility is available for working capital,capital expenditures,and other corporate purposes,including acquisitions and share repurchases.We have the option,subject to negotiation and agreement with the related banks,to increase the maximumcommitment amount by an additional$1.0 billion.Borrowings under the 2021 credit

in the 2021 credit facility),in each case plus an applicable margin.Theapplicable margin is based on the Companys long-term credit ratings assigned by the Moodys and Standard&Poors rating

forward-looking SOFR term rate administrated by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange plus a SOFR Adjustment of 0.100%.The 2021 credit facility contains provisions requiring us to maintain compliance with certain covenants,including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio,which measures our ability to cover financing expenses.As of December 31,2023,we were in compliance with all applicable covenants.No

10-Q for details of the components of our long-term debt.Our ability to incur new liens and conduct sale and leaseback transactions on certain material properties is subject to compliance with terms of the indenturesunder which the long-term notes were issued.As of December 31,2023,we were in compliance with all applicable covenants.Use of CashWe expect to use our available cash and investments,including,but not limited to,additional potential future borrowings under the credit facilities,commercialpaper program,and the issuance of debt to support and invest in our core businesses,including investing in new ways to serve our customers and supportingour store partners,repaying maturing debts,returning cash to shareholders through common stock cash dividend payments and discretionary share repurchases,and investing in new business opportunities related to our core and developing businesses.Furthermore,we may use our available cash resources to makeproportionate capital contributions to our investees.We may also seek strategic acquisitions to leverage existing capabilities and further build our business.Acquisitions may include increasing our ownership interests in our investees.Any decisions to increase such ownership interests will be driven by valuationand fit with our ownership strategy.We believe that net future cash flows generated from operations and existing cash and investments both domestically and internationally,combined with ourability to leverage our balance sheet through the issuance of debt,will be sufficient to finance capital requirements for our core businesses as well asshareholder distributions for at least the next 12 months.We are currently not aware of any trends or demands,commitments,events,or uncertainties that willresult in,or that are reasonably likely to result in,our liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way that will impact our capital needs during or beyondthe next 12 months.We have borrowed funds and continue to believe we have the ability to do so at reasonable interest rates;however,additional borrowingswould result in increased interest expense in the future.In this regard,we may incur additional debt,within targeted levels,as part of our plans to fund ourcapital programs,including cash returns to shareholders through future dividends and discretionary share repurchases,refinancing debt maturities,as well asinvesting in new business opportunities.If necessary,we may pursue additional sources of financing,including both short-term and long-term borrowings anddebt issuances.We regularly review our cash positions and our determination of partial indefinite reinvestment of foreign earnings.In the event we determine that all oranother portion of such foreign earnings are no longer indefinitely reinvested,we may be subject to additional foreign withholding taxes,which could bematerial.Any foreign earnings that are not indefinitely reinvested may be repatriated at managements discretion.In anticipation of repatriation of current-yearearnings of certain foreign subsidiaries,we accrued approximately$10 million for foreign withholding taxes during the first quarter of fiscal year 2024.During the first quarter of fiscal 2024,our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of$0.57 per share to be paid on February 23,2024 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 9,2024.During the quarter ended December 31,2023,we repurchased 12.8 million shares of common stock for$1,250.1 million on the open market.As ofDecember 31,2023,29.8 million shares remained available for repurchase under current authorizations.Other than normal operating expenses,cash requirements for the remainder of fiscal 2024 are expected to consist primarily of capital expenditures forinvestments in our new and existing stores,our supply chain,and corporate facilities.Total capital expenditures for fiscal 2024 are expected to beapproximately$3.0 billion.33Table of ContentsIn the MD&A included in the 10-K,we disclosed that we had$33.9 billion of current and long-term material cash requirements as of October 1,2023.Therehave been no material changes to our material cash requirements during the period covered by this 10-Q outside of the normal course of our business.Cash FlowsNet cash provided by operating activities was$2.4 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2024,compared to$1.6 billion for the same period in fiscal 2023.Thechange was primarily due to an increase in net cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities and higher net earnings during the period.Net cash used in investing activities totaled$568.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024,compared to$279.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2023.The change was primarily due to an increase in purchases of investments and higher capital expenditures.Net cash used in financing activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 totaled$2.4 billion,compared to$1.0 billion for the same period in fiscal 2023.Thechange was primarily due to an increase in share repurchase activities and repayments of debt,partially offset by proceeds from issuance of commercial paper.Commodity Prices,Availability and General Risk ConditionsCommodity price risk represents our primary market risk,generated by our purchases of green coffee and dairy products,among other items.We purchase,roast,and sell high-quality arabica coffee and related products,and risk arises from the price volatility of green coffee.In addition to coffee,we also purchasesignificant amounts of dairy products to support the needs of our company-operated stores.The price and availability of these commodities directly impact ourresults of operations,and we expect commodity prices,particularly coffee,to impact future results of operations.For additional details,see Product Supply inItem 1 of the 10-K,as well as Risk Factors in Part I,Item 1A of the 10-K.Seasonality and Quarterly ResultsOur business is subject to moderate seasonal fluctuations,of which our fiscal second quarter typically experiences lower revenues and operating income.Additionally,as Starbucks Cards are issued to and loaded by customers during the holiday season,we tend to have higher cash flows from operations duringthe first quarter of the fiscal year.However,since revenues from Starbucks Cards are recognized upon redemption and not when cash is loaded onto theStarbucks Card,the impact of seasonal fluctuations on the consolidated statements of earnings is much less pronounced.As a result of moderate seasonalfluctuations,results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year.Critical Accounting EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S.generally accepted accounting principles and the Companys discussionand

condensed consolidated financial statements.Table of Contents-5-Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements(Unaudited)1.Corporate informationSpotify Technology S.A.(the“Company”or“parent”)is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in Luxembourg.The Companys registered office is 5,Place de la Gare,L-1616 Luxembourg,Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.The principal activity of the Company and its subsidiaries(collectively,the“Group,”“we,”“us,”or“our”)is audio streaming.The Groups premium service(“Premium Service”)provides users with unlimited online and offline high-quality streaming access to its catalog of music and podcasts.In select markets,the Premium Service provides eligible users with limited online and offline streaming access to its catalog of audiobooks.The Premium Service offers a music listening experience without commercial breaks.The Groups ad-supported service(“Ad-Supported Service”and together with the Premium Service,the“Service”)has no subscription fees and provides users with limited on-demand online access to the catalog of music and unlimited online access to the catalog of podcasts.The Group depends on securing content licenses from a number of major and minor content owners and other rights holders in order to provide its service.2.Basis of preparation and summary of material accounting policiesThe interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Spotify Technology S.A.for the three months ended March 31,2024 and 2023 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.The interim financial information is unaudited.The interim financial information reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are,in the opinion of management,necessary to fairly present the information set forth herein.The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Groups consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31,2023,as they do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements.Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in millions of Euros.New and amended standards and interpretations adopted by the GroupClassification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and Non-current Liabilities with Covenants-Amendments to IAS 1 On January 1,2024 the Group adopted the International Accounting Standards Board(“IASB”)issued amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current.The amendments are applied on a retrospective basis and require the Group to reclassify the Exchangeable Notes(as defined below)as a current liability if the exchange conditions are met,even if no noteholder actually requires us to exchange their notes.Adoption of this amendment did not result in the reclassification of the Exchangeable Notes as a current liability at any reporting date,from the inception of the Exchangeable Notes to March 31,2024 as the exchange conditions had not been met.There are no other new IFRS or IFRS Interpretation Committee(“IFRIC”)interpretations effective during the three months ended March 31,2024 that have a material impact to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.New standards and interpretations issued not yet effectivePresentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements-IFRS 18 In April 2024,the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements(“IFRS 18”)which replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements.IFRS 18 requires an entity to classify all income and expenses within its statement of profit or loss into one of five categories:operating;investing;financing;income taxes;and discontinued operations.The first three categories are new.These categories are complemented by the requirement to present subtotals and totals for“operating profit or loss”,“profit or loss before financing income and taxes”and“profit or loss”.IFRS 18,and the amendments to the other standards,is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1,2027,but earlier application is permitted.The Group is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment.There are no other IFRS or IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective and that are expected to have a material impact to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.Table of Contents-6-3.Critical accounting estimates and judgmentsIn preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements,the significant judgments made by management in applying the Groups accounting policies and the key sources of estimation and uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31,2023.Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors,including expectations of future events.4.Finance income and costs Three months ended March 31,20242023(in

(13)Total(53)(77)5.Income taxThe effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31,2024 and 2023 were(13.0)%and(9.3)%,respectively.The Group operates in a global environment with significant operations in various jurisdictions outside Luxembourg.Accordingly,the consolidated income tax rate is a composite rate reflecting the Groups earnings and the applicable tax rates in the various jurisdictions where the Group operates.For the three months ended March 31,2024,the income tax benefit of 23 million was due primarily to the recognition of deferred taxes as a result of the unrealized increase in the fair value of the Groups long-term investment in Tencent Music Entertainment Group(“TME”)resulting in a tax benefit of 64 million,partially offset by utilizing share-based compensation deductions recognized in equity to offset current taxable income resulting in tax expense of 26 million.For the three months ended March 31,2023,the income tax expense of 19 million was due primarily to the impact of utilizing historical share-based compensation deductions recognized in equity to offset current taxable income,income taxes associated with the Groups profitable subsidiaries as well as impacts of prior year items.Transactions recorded through other comprehensive income/(loss)have been shown net of their tax impact,as applicable.The Group is in scope of the OECD Pillar 2 Model Rules(“P2 Rules”).The P2 Rules have been enacted(or substantively enacted)in most jurisdictions in which the Group operates,including Luxembourg and Sweden.Although no material exposure arising from Pillar 2 has been identified to date,material Pillar 2 impacts to our tax expense remain possible.We are subject to ongoing tax audits in several jurisdictions,and most of these audits involve transfer pricing matters.Tax authorities in certain jurisdictions have challenged our tax positions.We regularly assess the likely outcomes of these audits,taking into account any new information available,in order to determine the appropriateness of the tax reserves.If management concludes that it is not probable that a tax position will be accepted,the effect of that uncertainty is reflected at either the most likely amount or the expected value,taking into account a range of possible outcomes.Table of Contents-7-Tax provisions related to uncertain tax positions in the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position,which management has concluded are not probable to be accepted were 11 million as of March 31,2024 and 8 million as of December 31,2023.None of the provisions related to uncertain tax positions are reasonably expected to be resolved within the next twelve months.Interest and penalties included in income tax expense were not material in any of the periods presented.Due to the uncertainty associated with our tax positions,any future agreement with the tax authorities could have a significant impact on our results of operations,financial condition and cash flows.Net deferred tax assets of 24 million and 20 million have been recorded in the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of March 31,2024 and December 31,2023,respectively.In evaluating the probability of realizing the deferred tax assets,the Group considered all available positive and negative evidence of future taxable profit,primarily past operating results.As of March 31,2024 and December 31,2023,deferred tax assets of 824 million and 796 million have not been recognized.Changes in profitability in the jurisdictions where these balances originated,among other factors,could have a substantial impact on managements assessment of deferred tax recognition.6.Earnings/(loss)per shareBasic earnings/(loss)per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding ordinary shares during the period.Diluted earnings/(loss)per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding ordinary shares and potential outstanding ordinary shares during the period.Potential ordinary shares,which are based on the weighted-average ordinary shares underlying outstanding stock options,restricted stock units,other contingently issuable shares,warrants,and Exchangeable Notes and computed using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method,as applicable,are included when calculating diluted earnings/(loss)per share when their effect is dilutive.The computation of earnings/(loss)per share for the respective periods is as follows:Three months ended March

2023.Additionally,the Group has entered into certain lease agreements with approximately 40 million of commitments,which had not commenced as of March 31,2024,and,as such,have not been recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position.The weighted-average incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities recognized in the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of March 31,2024 was 6.4%.During the three months ended March 31,2024,the Group entered into agreements to sublease a portion of its leased offices under finance leases.As an intermediate lessor,the Group accounts for sublease arrangements separately from the related head lease agreements.Subleases are classified as either finance or operating leases by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease.Where the lease transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee,the contract is classified as a finance lease;all other leases are classified as operating leases.The Group does not currently have any subleases classified as operating leases.Amounts due from lessees under finance subleases are recognized as receivables discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease.Below is the roll-forward of finance lease receivables:Table of Contents-10-Finance lease receivables20242023(in millions)At January 1 Additions 50

3,202,177 and 4,200,241 ordinary shares held as treasury shares,respectively.On August 20,2021,the Company announced that the board of directors had approved a program to repurchase up to$1.0 billion of the Companys ordinary shares.Repurchases of up to 10,000,000 of the Companys ordinary shares were authorized at the Companys general meeting of shareholders on April 21,2021.The repurchase program will expire on April 21,2026.Since the commencement of this repurchase program and through March 31,2024,469,274 ordinary shares were repurchased for 91 million under this program.For the three months ended March 31,2024,the Company repurchased 900,000 of its own ordinary shares and reissued 1,898,064 treasury shares upon the exercise of stock options and restricted stock units.For the three months ended March 31,2023,the Company did not repurchase any of its own ordinary shares and reissued 836,293 treasury shares upon the exercise of stock options,restricted stock units,and contingently issuable shares.As of March 31,2024 and December 31,2023,the Groups founders held 341,341,690 and 343,841,690 beneficiary certificates,respectively.Table of Contents-13-Other reserves 20242023(in

shares released include ordinary shares that the Group has withheld for settlement of employees tax obligations due upon the vesting of RSUs and other contingently issuable shares.For most of our employees,when RSUs vest,the Group withholds the number of shares that are equal to the monetary value of the employees tax obligation from the total number of shares that otherwise would have been issued.The Group then remits cash to tax authorities on the employees behalf.If all the RSUs outstanding at March 31,2024 subsequently vest,the Group estimates that it would be required to remit approximately 273 million to tax authorities over the vesting period for the years 2024 through 2028.In determining this estimate,the Group used the Companys ordinary share price as at March 31,2024.The actual amount remitted to tax authorities is dependent on the Companys ordinary share price on each of the vesting dates as well as the number of awards that ultimately vest.Activity in

due 2026(the“Exchangeable Notes”),which included the initial purchasers exercise in full of their option to purchase an additional US$200 million principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes.The Exchangeable Notes will mature on March 15,2026,unless earlier repurchased,redeemed or exchanged.The Exchangeable Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed,on a senior,unsecured basis by the Company.The net proceeds from the issuance of the Exchangeable Notes were 1,223 million after deducting transaction costs of 18 million.The transaction costs were immediately expensed and included in finance costs in the interim condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31,2021.The Exchangeable Notes are the Issuers senior unsecured obligations and are equal in right of payment with the Issuers future senior,unsecured indebtedness,senior in right of payment to the Issuers future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the Exchangeable Notes and effectively subordinated to the Issuers future secured indebtedness,to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness.The Exchangeable Notes will be structurally subordinated to all future indebtedness and other liabilities,including trade payables,and(to the extent the Issuer is not a holder thereof)preferred equity,if any,of the Issuers subsidiaries.The noteholders may exchange their Exchangeable Notes at their option into consideration that consists,at the Issuers election,of cash,ordinary shares of the Company,or a combination of cash and ordinary shares,but only under certain circumstances as set forth in the indenture governing the Exchangeable Notes(the“Indenture”).The circumstances required to allow the noteholders to exchange their Exchangeable Notes were not met during the three months ended March 31,2024.The Exchangeable Notes were not redeemable prior to March 20,2024,except in the event of certain tax law changes as set forth in the Indenture.As of March 20,2024,the Exchangeable Notes are redeemable,in whole or in part,at the Issuers option at any time,and from time to time,and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date,at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes to be redeemed,plus accrued and unpaid special and additional interest,if any,but only if the last reported sale price per ordinary share exceeds 130%of the exchange price on:(1)each of at least 20 trading days,whether or not consecutive,during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on,and including,the trading day immediately before the date the Issuer sends the related redemption notice;and(2)the trading day immediately before the date the Issuer sends such notice.In addition,the Issuer will have the right to redeem all,but not less than all,of the Exchangeable Notes if certain changes in tax law as set forth in the Indenture occur.In addition,calling any Exchangeable Note for redemption will constitute a make-whole fundamental change with respect to that Exchangeable Note,in which case the exchange rate applicable to the exchange of that Exchangeable Note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is exchanged after it is called for redemption.Upon the occurrence of a“fundamental change”as set forth in the Indenture,noteholders may require the Issuer to repurchase their Exchangeable Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes to be repurchased,plus accrued and unpaid special and additional interest,if any,to,but excluding,the fundamental change repurchase date as set forth in the Indenture.The Group accounted for the Exchangeable Notes at fair value through profit and loss using the fair value option in accordance with IFRS 9,Financial Instruments.The fair value of the Exchangeable Notes as of March 31,2024 was 1,270 million.See Note 19 for information regarding the key inputs and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the Exchangeable Notes.16.Trade and other payables March 31,2024December 31,2023(in millions)Trade payables 715 662 Value added tax and sales taxes payable 300 291 Other

proceedings are difficult to predict and the extent of the Groups financial exposure is difficult to estimate.The Group records a provision for contingent losses when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred,and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.Table of Contents-17-As of April 2019,the Groups settlement of the Ferrick et al.v.Spotify USA Inc.,No.1:16-cv-8412-AJN(S.D.N.Y.),putative class action lawsuit,which alleged that the Group unlawfully reproduced and distributed musical compositions without obtaining licenses,was final and effective.Even with the effectiveness of the settlement,we may still be subject to claims of copyright infringement by rights holders who have purported to opt out of the settlement or who may not otherwise be covered by its terms.The Music Modernization Act of 2018 contains a limitation of liability with respect to such lawsuits filed on or after January 1,2018.Rights holders may,nevertheless,file lawsuits,and may argue that they should not be bound by this limitation of liability.For example,in August 2019,the Eight Mile Style,LLC et al v.Spotify USA Inc.,No.3:19-cv-00736-AAT,lawsuit was filed against us in the U.S.District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee,alleging both that the Group does not qualify for the limitation of liability in the Music Modernization Act and that the limitation of liability is unconstitutional and,thus,not valid law.The Group intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit,including plaintiffs challenges to the limitation of liability in the Music Modernization Act.19.Financial instrumentsForeign exchange forward contractsCash flow hedgesThe Groups currency pairs used for cash flow hedges are Euro/U.S.dollar,Euro/Australian dollar,Euro/British pound,Euro/Swedish krona,Euro/Canadian dollar,and Euro/Norwegian krone.The notional principal of foreign exchange contracts hedging the revenue and cost of revenue line items in the interim condensed consolidated statement of operations was approximately 1,504 million and 987 million,respectively,as of March 31,2024,and approximately 1,414 million and 991 million,respectively,as of December 31,2023.Fair valuesThe carrying amounts of certain financial instruments,including cash and cash equivalents,trade and other receivables,restricted cash,trade and other payables,and accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities.The Group measures its finance lease receivables as described in Note 7.The carrying amount of our finance lease receivables is considered to approximate their fair value at March 31,2024.Refer to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December

ordinary shares of TME is based on the ending New York Stock Exchange American depository share price.The fair value of the investment in TME may vary over time and is subject to a variety of risks including company performance,macro-economic,regulatory,industry,USD to Euro exchange rate and systemic risks of the equity markets overall.The table below presents the changes in the investment in

Group uses to measure its Level 3 financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis.Table of Contents-20-Long term investments-otherThe Group has interests in certain long term investments,the most significant of which is our equity investment in DistroKid,an independent digital music distribution service.These long term investments primarily represent unlisted equity securities carried at fair value through other comprehensive income/(loss).The fair values of these equity investments are generally determined using business enterprise values based on market transactions or by(i)applying market multiples to the projected financial performance and(ii)discounting the future value to its present value equivalent.The key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of these equity investments include market multiples of revenue or earnings before interest,income taxes,depreciation and amortization for benchmark companies used to estimate business enterprise value and discount rate.The fair value of the long term investments may vary over time and is subject to a variety of risks including company performance,macroeconomic,regulatory,industry,USD to Euro exchange rate,and systemic risks of the overall equity markets.The table below presents the changes in the other long term investments:20242023(in millions)At January 1 61 43 Initial recognition of long term investment

change in estimated fair value is recognized within finance income/(cost)in the interim condensed consolidated statement of operations,excluding changes in fair value due to changes in the Groups own credit risk,which are recognized in other comprehensive income/(loss)and will not be reclassified to the interim condensed consolidated statement of operations.The fair value of the Exchangeable Notes was estimated using a combination of a binomial option pricing model and prices observed for the Exchangeable Notes in an over-the-counter market on the last trading day of the reporting period.A weight of 75%was applied to the binomial option pricing model and a weight of 25%was applied to the price of the Exchangeable Notes in the over-the-counter market on the last trading day of the reporting period.The key assumptions used in the binomial option pricing model for the Exchangeable Notes were as follows:March 31,2024Risk free rate(%)4.6 Discount rate(%)6.6 Volatility(%)40.0 Share price(US$)263.90A decrease or increase of 10 percentage points in volatility would have resulted in a fair value of the Exchangeable Notes ranging from 1,250 million to 1,296 million at March 31,2024.A 10crease or increase in the Companys ordinary share price would have resulted in a fair value of the Exchangeable Notes ranging from 1,259 million to 1,285 million at March 31,2024.A decrease or increase of 100 basis points in credit spread would have resulted in a fair value of the Exchangeable Notes ranging from 1,286 million to 1,255 million at March 31,2024.20.Segment informationThe Group has two reportable segments:Premium and Ad-Supported.Revenue for the Premium segment is generated primarily through subscription fees.Revenue for the Ad-Supported segment is primarily generated through the sale of advertising across the Groups music and podcast content.Royalty costs are primarily recorded in each segment based on specific rates for each segment agreed to with rights holders.All podcast content costs are recorded in the Ad-Supported segment.The costs of providing audiobook content as part of the Premium subscription are recorded in the Premium segment.The remaining costs that are not specifically associated to either of the segments are allocated based on user activity or the revenue recognized in each segment.No operating segments have been aggregated to form the reportable segments.Table of Contents-22-Key financial performance measures of the segments including revenue,cost of revenue,and gross profit are as follows:Three months

ContingenciesVarious legal actions,proceedings,and claims are pending or may be instituted or asserted against the Group.These may include,but are not limited to,matters relating to intellectual property,data protection,consumer protection,employment,and contractual rights.As a general matter,the music and other content made available on the Groups Service are licensed to the Group by various third parties.Many of these licenses allow rights holders or other authorized parties to audit the Groups royalty payments,and any such audit could result in disputes over whether the Group has paid the proper royalties.If such a dispute were to occur,the Group could be required to pay additional royalties,and the amounts involved could be material.The Group expenses legal fees as incurred.The Group records a provision for contingent losses when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.An unfavorable outcome to any legal matter,if material,could have an adverse effect on the Groups operations or its financial position,liquidity,or results of operations.Table of Contents-24-Item 2.Managements Discussion and Analysis of

uncertainties emerge from time to time,and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties,nor are we able to assess the impact of all of these risk factors on our business or the extent to which any risk factor,or combination of risk factors,may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.For additional information,refer to the risk factors discussed under Part I,Item 3.D.“Risk Factors”in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31,2023(“Annual Report on Form 20-F”)and in our other filings with the U.S.Securities and Exchange Commission(“SEC”).You should read this discussion and analysis completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from our expectations.Investors and others should note that we announce material financial information to our investors using our Investors website(),SEC filings,press releases,public conference calls,and webcasts.We use these channels,as well as social media,to communicate with our users and the public about our company,our Service,and other issues.It is possible that the information we post on these channels could be deemed to be material information.Therefore,we encourage investors,the media,and others interested in our Company to review the information we post on the channels listed on our Investors website.OverviewOur mission is to unlock the potential of human creativity by giving a million creative artists the opportunity to live off their art and billions of fans the opportunity to enjoy and be inspired by it.We are the worlds most popular audio streaming subscription service.With a presence in 184 countries and territories,our platform includes 615 million monthly active users(“MAUs”),including 239 million Premium Subscribers(as defined below)as of March 31,2024.We currently monetize our Service primarily through both subscriptions and advertising.Our Premium Subscribers have grown 14%year-over-year,as of March 31,2024,to 239 million.Our 615 million MAUs have grown 19%year-over-year,as of March 31,2024.Our results reflect the effects of our trial programs,both discounted and free trials,in addition to seasonal trends in user behavior and,with respect to our Ad-Supported segment,advertising behavior.Historically,Premium Subscriber growth accelerates when we run such trial programs.For our Ad-Supported segment,typically we experience higher advertising revenue in the fourth quarter of each calendar year due to greater advertising demand during the holiday season.However,in the first quarter of each calendar year,we typically experience a seasonal decline in advertising revenue due to reduced advertiser demand.AudiobooksOn April 2,2024,the Company announced the launch of audiobooks on our Premium Service in three additional markets:Canada,Ireland,and New Zealand,offering up to 15 hours of access a month to more than 250,000 audiobooks as part of a subscription to the Premium Service.Audiobooks are available for eligible Premium Subscribers in the U.S.,U.K.,Australia,Canada,Ireland,and New Zealand.On March 1,2024,the Company announced the launch of Audiobooks Access Tier in the U.S.,offering Ad-Supported Users a subscription for 15 hours of access a month to more than 250,000 audiobooks.Table of Contents-26-Current macroeconomic environmentThe global macroeconomic environment continues to be uncertain,reflecting the impacts of inflation,changes in interest rates,continued geopolitical conflicts in Europe and the Middle East,and related market uncertainty.We will continue to actively monitor and respond accordingly to the macroeconomic environment.For additional information refer to Part I,Item 3.D.“Risk Factors”in our Annual Report on Form 20-F.Key Performance IndicatorsWe use certain key performance indicators to monitor and manage our business.We use these indicators to evaluate our business,measure our performance,identify trends affecting our business,formulate business plans,and make strategic decisions.We believe these indicators provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner we do.MAUsWe track MAUs as an indicator of the size of the audience engaged with our Service.We define MAUs as the total count of Ad-Supported Users and Premium Subscribers that have consumed content for greater than zero milliseconds in the last thirty days from the period-end indicated.Reported MAUs may overstate the number of unique individuals who actively use our Service within a thirty-day period as one individual may register for,and use,multiple accounts.Additionally,though we strive to detect and minimize non-bona fide accounts that may typically be created in an attempt to artificially stream content,they may contribute,from time to time,to an overstatement in our reported MAUs.Our MAUs in the tables below are inclusive of Ad-Supported Users who may have employed methods to limit or otherwise avoid being served advertisements.For additional information,refer to the risk factors discussed under Part I,Item 3.D.“Risk Factors”in our Annual Report on Form 20-F,and in our other filings with the SEC.The table below sets forth our MAUs as of March 31,2024 and 2023.As of March 31 20242023Change(in millions,except percentages)MAUs 615 515 100 19%MAUs were 615 million as of March

campaigns,enhanced content offerings,and product enhancements,resulting in continued user engagement and customer satisfaction.Premium SubscribersWe define Premium Subscribers as users that have completed registration with Spotify and have activated a payment method for Premium Service.Our Premium Subscribers include all registered accounts in our Family Plan and Duo Plan.Our Family Plan consists of one primary subscriber and up to five additional sub-accounts,allowing up to six Premium Subscribers per Family Plan Subscription.Our Duo Plan consists of one primary subscriber and up to one additional sub-account,allowing up to two Premium Subscribers per Duo Plan Subscription.Premium Subscribers includes subscribers in a grace period of up to 30 days after failing to pay their subscription fee.The table below sets forth our Premium Subscribers as of March 31,2024 and 2023.As of March 31 20242023Change(in millions,except percentages)Premium Subscribers 239 210 29 14%Premium Subscribers were 239 million as of March 31,2024 and 210 million as of March 31,2023,which represented an increase of 14%.Our free trial offers and global campaigns were meaningful contributors of total gross additions in Premium Subscribers,while our Family Plan and Duo Plan also accounted for a significant portion of gross additions in Premium Subscribers.Table of Contents-27-Ad-Supported MAUsWe define Ad-Supported MAUs as the total count of Ad-Supported Users that have consumed content for greater than zero milliseconds in the last thirty days from the period-end indicated.The table

through successful consumer marketing campaigns,enhanced content offerings,and product enhancements,resulting in continued Ad-Supported User engagement and customer satisfaction.Premium ARPUPremium average revenue per user(“ARPU”)is a monthly measure defined as Premium subscription revenue recognized in the quarter indicated divided by the average daily Premium Subscribers in such quarter,which is then divided by three months.The table below sets forth our average Premium ARPU for the three months ended March 31,2024 and 2023.Three months ended March 31,20242023ChangePremium ARPU 4.55 4.32 0.23 5%For the three months ended March 31,2024 and 2023,Premium ARPU was 4.55 and 4.32,respectively,which represented an increase of 5%.This increase of 0.23 is primarily attributable to price increases,resulting in a 0.44 increase in Premium ARPU.This increase was partially offset by changes in product and market mix,decreasing ARPU by 0.14,and unfavorable movements in foreign exchange rates,decreasing ARPU by 0.07.How We Generate RevenueWe operate and manage our business in two reportable segments-Premium and Ad-Supported.We identify our reportable segments based on the organizational units used by the chief operating decision maker to monitor performance and make operating decisions.See Note 20 to our interim condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our reportable segments.PremiumWe generate revenue for our Premium segment through the sale of subscriptions to the Premium Service.The Premium Service is primarily sold directly to end users.The Premium Service is also sold through partners who are generally telecommunications companies that bundle the subscription with their own services or collect payment for the stand-alone subscriptions from their end customers.Premium partner subscription revenue is based on a per-subscriber rate in a negotiated partner agreement.We also bundle the Premium Service with other services and products.Ad-SupportedWe generate revenue for our Ad-Supported segment primarily from the sale of display,audio,and video advertising delivered through advertising impressions across our music and podcast content.We generally enter into arrangements with advertising agencies that purchase advertising on behalf of their clients and we also enter into arrangements directly with some large advertisers.These advertising arrangements are typically sold on a cost-per-thousand-impressions(“CPM”)basis and are evidenced by an insertion order that specifies the terms of the arrangement such as the type of advertising product,pricing,insertion dates,and number of impressions or downloads in a stated period.Additionally,we generate revenue through arrangements with certain advertising automated exchanges,internal self-serve,and advertising marketplace platforms to distribute advertising inventory for purchase on a CPM basis.Table of Contents-28-Components of our Operating ResultsCost of revenue.Cost of revenue consists predominantly of royalty and distribution costs related to content streaming.We incur royalty costs,which we pay to certain record labels,music publishers,and other rights holders,for the right to stream content to our users.Music royalties are typically calculated monthly based on the combination of a number of different variables.Generally,Premium Service royalties are based on the greater of a percentage of revenue and a per user amount.Royalties for the Ad-Supported Service are typically a percentage of relevant revenue,although certain agreements are based on the greater of a percentage of relevant revenue and an amount for each time a track is streamed.We have negotiated lower per user amounts for our lower priced subscription plans such as our Family Plan,Duo Plan,and Student Plan.In our agreements with certain record labels,the percentage of revenue used in the calculation of royalties is generally dependent upon certain targets being met.The targets can include such measures as the number of Premium Subscribers,the ratio of Ad-Supported Users to Premium Subscribers,and/or the rates of Premium Subscriber churn.In addition,royalty rates vary by country.Some of our royalty agreements require that royalty costs be paid in advance or are subject to minimum guaranteed amounts.For the majority of royalty agreements,incremental costs incurred due to unrecouped advances and minimum guarantees have not been significant to date.We also have certain so-called most favored nation royalty agreements,which require us to record additional costs if certain material contract terms are not as favorable as the terms we have agreed to with similar licensors.Cost of revenue also reflects discounts provided by certain rights holders in return for promotional activities in connection with marketplace programs.Additionally,it includes the costs of discounted trials.Royalties payable in relation to audiobook licenses are generally consumption-based.Cost of revenue also includes the cost of podcast content assets(both produced and licensed).Amortization of podcast content assets is recorded over the shorter of the estimated useful economic life or the license period(if relevant)and begins at the release of each episode.We make payments to podcast publishers,whose content we monetize through advertising sales in the Spotify Audience Network(“SPAN”),which are also included in cost of revenue.Cost of revenue also includes credit card and payment processing fees for subscription revenue,advertising serving,advertising measurement,customer service,certain employee compensation and benefits,cloud computing,streaming,facility,and equipment costs.Research and Development.We invest heavily in research and development in order to drive user engagement and customer satisfaction on our platform,which we believe helps drive organic growth in MAUs,which in turn drives additional growth in,and better retention of,Premium Subscribers,as well as increased advertising opportunities to our users.We aim to design products and features that create and enhance user experiences,and new technologies are at the core of many of these opportunities.Expenses primarily comprise costs incurred for the development of products related to our platform and Service,as well as new advertising products and improvements to our mobile application and desktop application and streaming services.The costs incurred include related facility costs,consulting costs,and employee compensation and benefits costs.We expect engineers to represent a significant portion of our employees over the foreseeable future.Many of our new products and improvements to our platform require large investments and involve substantial time and risks to develop and launch.Some of these products may not be well received or may take a long time for users to adopt.As a result,the benefits of our research and development investments are difficult to forecast.Sales and Marketing.Sales and marketing expenses primarily comprise employee compensation and benefits,public relations,branding,consulting expenses,customer acquisition costs,advertising,marketing events and trade shows,amortization of trade name intangible assets,the cost of working with content creators and rights holders to promote the availability of new releases on our platform,and the costs of providing free trials.Expenses included in the cost of providing free trials are derived primarily from per user royalty fees determined in accordance with the rights holder agreements.General and Administrative.General and administrative expenses primarily comprise employee compensation and benefits for functions such as finance,accounting,analytics,legal,human resources,consulting fees,and other costs including facility and equipment costs,directors and officers liability insurance,and director fees.Table of Contents-29-Results of OperationsRevenueThree months ended March 31,20242023Change(in millions,except percentages)Premium 3,247 2,713 534 20-Supported 389 329 60 18%Total 3,636 3,042 594

ended March 31,2023,Premium revenue increased 534 million,or 20%.The increase was due primarily to an increase in the number of Premium Subscribers and an increase in Premium ARPU,as described above.Ad-Supported revenueFor both the three months ended March 31,2024 and 2023,Ad-Supported revenue comprised 11%of our total revenue.For the three months ended March 31,2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31,2023,Ad-Supported revenue increased 60 million,or 18%.This increase was due primarily to growth in music impressions sold and CPM,which increased revenue in our direct and programmatic channels by 39 million.Ad sales from podcasts,supported by growth in podcast impressions sold,and our self-serve platform,also increased revenue by 26 million during the three months ended March 31,2024.Foreign exchange impact on total revenueThe general movement of the Euro relative to certain foreign currencies,primarily the U.S.Dollar,for the three months ended March 31,2024,as compared to the same period in 2023,had an unfavorable net impact on our revenue.We estimate that total revenue for the three months ended March 31,2024 would have been approximately 53 million higher if foreign exchange rates had remained consistent with foreign exchange rates for the comparable period in 2023.Cost of revenueThree months ended March 31,20242023Change(in millions,except

31,2023,Premium cost of revenue increased 331 million,or 17%,and Premium cost of revenue as a percentage of Premium revenue decreased from 71%to 70%.The increase in Premium cost of revenue was driven primarily by increases in Premium revenue and audiobook licensing costs,partially offset by benefits from certain marketplace programs.These collectively resulted in higher content costs of 343 million.Additionally,there was an increase in payment processing fees of 11 million,partially offset by a 7 million decrease in streaming delivery costs during the three months ended March 31,2024.Table of Contents-30-Ad-Supported cost of revenueFor the three months ended March 31,2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31,2023,Ad-Supported cost of revenue increased 25 million,or 7%,and Ad-Supported cost of revenue as a percentage of Ad-Supported revenue decreased from 103%to 94%.The increase in Ad-Supported cost of revenue was driven primarily by an increase in content costs of 26 million due to growth in both advertising revenue and the volume of streams during the three months ended March 31,2024.Foreign exchange impact on total cost of revenueThe general movement of the Euro relative to certain foreign currencies,primarily the U.S.Dollar,for the three months ended March 31,2024,as compared to the same period in 2023,had a favorable net impact on our cost of revenue.We estimate that total cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31,2024 would have been approximately 41 million higher,if foreign exchange rates had remained consistent with foreign exchange rates for the comparable period in 2023.Gross profit/(loss)and gross marginThree months ended March 31,20242023Change(in millions,except percentages)Gross profit/(loss)Premium 979 776

development costs decreased by 46 million,or 11%.The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in personnel-related costs of 73 million that included salaries and share-based compensation as a result of decreased headcount.In addition,there was a 10 million decrease in costs for external contractors and information technology.These decreases were partially offset by an increase in social costs of

23 million that included salaries and share-based compensation as a result of decreased headcount.This decrease was partially offset by an increase in social costs of 9 million due primarily to changes in share price movements.Finance incomeFinance income consists of fair value adjustment gains on certain financial instruments,interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents and short term investments,interest income on our finance lease receivables,and foreign currency gains.Three months ended March 31,20242023Change(in millions,except percentages)Finance income 59 27 32 119%As a percentage of revenue 2%1%For the three months ended March 31,2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31,2023,finance income increased 32 million due primarily to an increase in interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents and short term investments of 19 million.Finance income for the three months ended March 31,2024 also includes 8 million of foreign exchange gains on the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities in a transaction currency other than the functional currency,with no such activity recognized within finance income during the three months ended March 31,2023.Table of Contents-32-Finance costsFinance costs consist of fair value adjustment losses on certain financial instruments,interest expense,and foreign currency losses.Three months ended March

31,2023,finance costs decreased 24 million.The decrease was due primarily to 13 million in foreign exchange losses on the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities in a transaction currency other than the functional currency recognized during the three months ended March 31,2023 with no such activity recognized within finance costs during the three months ended March 31,2024.There was also a decrease in fair value movements on the Exchangeable Notes of 8 million.Income tax(benefit)/expense Three months ended March 31,20242023Change(in millions,except percentages)Income tax(benefit)/expense(23)19 (42)(221)%As a percentage of revenue(1)%1%For the three months ended March 31,2024,income tax benefit was 23 million,compared to an income tax expense of 19 million for the three months ended March 31,2023.The change from expense to benefit is due primarily to an additional tax benefit of 62 million resulting from changes in the recognition of deferred taxes related to unrealized increases in the fair value of the Groups long term investment in Tencent Music Entertainment Group(“TME”).This benefit was partially offset by additional tax expense of 19 million from increased utilization of share-based compensation deductions recognized in equity to offset current taxable income.Non-IFRS financial measureWe have reported our financial results in accordance with IFRS as issued by IASB.In addition,we have discussed our results using the non-IFRS measure of Free Cash Flow as discussed below.We define“Free Cash Flow”as net cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures and change in restricted cash.We believe Free Cash Flow is a useful supplemental financial measure for us and investors in assessing our ability to pursue business opportunities and investments and to service our debt.Free Cash Flow is not a measure of our liquidity under IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to net cash flows from operating activities.Free Cash Flow is a non-IFRS measure and is not a substitute for IFRS measures in assessing our overall financial performance.Because Free Cash Flow is not a measurement determined in accordance with IFRS,and is susceptible to varying calculations,it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies.You should not consider Free Cash Flow in isolation,or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported on our interim condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this document.Set forth below is a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to net cash flows from operating activities for the periods presented.Three months ended March 31,20242023(in millions)Net cash flows from operating activities 211 59 Capital expenditures(5)(2)Change in restricted cash 1 Free Cash Flow 207 57 Table of Contents-33-Liquidity and Capital ResourcesOur principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents,short term investments,and cash generated from operating activities.Cash and cash equivalents and short term investments consist mostly of cash on deposit with banks,time deposits,investments in money market funds,and investments in government securities,corporate notes,fixed income funds,and collateralized reverse purchase agreements.Cash and cash equivalents and short term investments increased by 457 million from 4,214 million as of December 31,2023 to 4,671 million as of March 31,2024.We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents,short term investments,and the cash flow we generate from our operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs and other liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months.However,our future capital requirements may be materially different than those currently planned in our budgeting and forecasting activities and depend on many factors,including our rate of revenue growth,the timing of new product introductions,market acceptance of our products,the acquisition of other companies,competitive factors,and global economic conditions.To the extent that current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and requirements,we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing.The sale of additional equity would result in additional dilution to our shareholders,while the incurrence of debt financing would result in debt service obligations.Such debt instruments also could introduce covenants that might restrict our operations.We cannot assure you that we could obtain additional financing on favorable terms,or at all.For additional information,refer to Part I,Item 3.D.“Risk Factors”in our Annual Report on Form 20-F.We continue to evaluate our real estate footprint to optimize our global office space while making necessary investments in offices and information technology infrastructure to grow our business.We fund these investments using current cash and cash equivalents and the cash flow we generate from operations.Given the impact of our Work From Anywhere program and in conjunction with a strategic review of our real estate footprint and space utilization trends,our focus has shifted more towards optimizing our current portfolio and reviewing our real estate needs around the world as opposed to significant expansion of our presence in current markets.This has resulted in a reduction of our real estate footprint as we have decided to sublease certain leased office space.See Note 7 to our interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.Share repurchase programOn August 20,2021,the Company announced that the board of directors had approved a program to repurchase up to$1.0 billion of the Companys ordinary shares.Repurchases of up to 10,000,000 of the Companys ordinary shares were authorized at the Companys general meeting of shareholders on April 21,2021.The repurchase program will expire on April 21,2026.Since the commencement of this repurchase program and through March 31,2024,469,274 ordinary shares were repurchased for 91 million under this program.The timing and actual number of shares repurchased depends on a variety of factors,including price,general business and market conditions,and alternative investment opportunities.The repurchase program is executed consistent with the Companys capital allocation strategy of prioritizing investment to grow the business over the long term.The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of ordinary shares,and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Companys discretion.The Company uses current cash and cash equivalents and the cash flow it generates from operations to fund the share repurchase program.Exchangeable notesOn March 2,2021,Spotify USA Inc.issued US$1,500 million in aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes.Net proceeds from the issuance of the Exchangeable Notes were 1,223 million after deducting the transaction costs.See Note 15 to our interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding our Exchangeable Notes.Cash flow Three months ended March 31,20242023(in millions)Net cash flows from operating activities 211 59 Net cash flows used in investing activities(114)(122)Net cash flows from financing activities 202 49 Free Cash Flow(1)207 57(1)For a discussion of the limitations associated with using Free Cash Flow rather than IFRS measures,and a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to net cash flows from operating activities,see“Non-IFRS Financial Measure”above.Table of Contents-34-Operating activitiesNet cash flows from operating activities increased by 152 million to 211 million for the three months ended March 31,2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31,2023.The increase was due primarily to an increase in operating income adjusted for non-cash items including depreciation,amortization,impairment charge on real estate assets,and share-based compensation expense,resulting in an increase in cash flows from operating activities of 279 million.There was also an increase in interest received on cash and cash equivalents and short term investments of 14 million.These changes were partially offset by unfavorable changes in working capital movements of 152 million,principally due to unfavorable movements in trade and other liabilities and trade receivables and other assets.Investing activitiesNet cash flows used in investing activities decreased by 8 million for the three months ended March 31,2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31,2023.The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in net cash outflows from purchases and sales and maturities of short term investments of 28 million partially offset by an increase in cash outflows for other investing activities of 18 million.Financing activitiesNet cash flows from financing activities increased by 153 million for the three months ended March 31,2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31,2023.The increase was due primarily to an increase in cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options of 167 million,partially offset by an increase in payments for employee taxes withheld from restricted stock unit releases of 12 million.Free Cash FlowFree Cash Flow increased by 150 million to 207 million for the three months ended March 31,2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31,2023,due primarily to an increase in net cash flows from operating activities of 152 million,as described above.Restrictions on subsidiaries to transfer fundsThe payment of dividends and the making,or repayment,of loans and advances to the Company by the Companys direct subsidiaries and by its indirect subsidiaries to their respective parent entities are subject to various restrictions.Future indebtedness of these subsidiaries may prohibit the payment of dividends or the making,or repayment,of loans or advances to the Company.In addition,the ability of any of the Companys direct or indirect subsidiaries to make certain distributions may be limited by the laws of the relevant jurisdiction in which the subsidiaries are organized or located.Since the Company is expected to rely primarily on dividends from its direct and indirect subsidiaries to fund its financial and other obligations,restrictions on its ability to receive such funds may adversely impact the Companys ability to fund its financial and other obligations.IndebtednessAs of March 31,2024,our outstanding indebtedness,other than lease liabilities,consisted primarily of the Exchangeable Notes that mature on March 15,2026 and bear no interest.See Note 15 to our interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding our Exchangeable Notes.We may from time to time seek to incur additional indebtedness.Such indebtedness,if any,will depend on prevailing market conditions,our liquidity requirements,contractual restrictions,and other factors.Off-Balance Sheet ArrangementsAs of March 31,2024,we do not have transactions with unconsolidated entities,such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities,whereby we have financial guarantees,subordinated retained interests,derivative instruments,or other contingent arrangements that expose us to material continuing risks,contingent liabilities,or any other obligation under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing,liquidity,market risk,or credit risk support to us.Table of Contents-35-The following table sets forth our contractual obligations

on our 0.00%Exchangeable Notes due March 15,2026.(3)Included in the lease obligations are short term leases and certain lease agreements that the Group has entered into,but had not yet commenced as of March 31,2024.Lease obligations primarily relate to our office space.The expected remaining lease terms are up to 10 years.See Note 7 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further details regarding leases.(4)We are subject to various non-cancelable purchase obligations and service agreements with minimum spend commitments,including a service agreement with Google for the use of Google Cloud Platform and certain podcast and marketing commitments.(5)Included in deferred consideration are obligations to transfer 17 million of cash consideration over the next two years to former owners of certain entities we have acquired.Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market RiskOur activities expose us to a variety of market risks.Our primary market risk exposures relate to currency,interest rate,share price,and investment risks.To manage these risks and our exposure to the unpredictability of financial markets,we seek to minimize potential adverse effects on our financial performance and capital.Volatile market conditions caused by significant events with macroeconomic impacts,including,but not limited to,inflation,changes in interest rates,geopolitical conflicts in Europe and the Middle East,and related market uncertainty,may result in significant changes in foreign exchange rates,interest rates,and share prices,both our own and those of third parties we use to value certain of our long term investments.Refer to Part I,Item 3.D.“Risk Factors”in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for further discussion on the impact of worldwide economic conditions on our business,operating results,and financial condition.Currency riskCurrency risk manifests itself in transaction exposure,which relates to business transactions denominated in foreign currency required by operations(purchasing and selling)and/or financing(interest and amortization).The volatility in foreign exchange rates,in particular a weakening of foreign currencies relative to the Euro,may negatively affect our revenue.Our general policy is to hedge transaction exposure on a case-by-case basis.Translation exposure relates to net investments in foreign operations.We do not conduct translation risk hedging.Transaction exposure sensitivityIn most cases,our customers are billed in their respective local currency.Major payments,such as salaries,consultancy fees,and rental fees are settled in local currencies.Royalty payments are primarily settled in Euros and U.S.dollars.Hence,the operational need to net purchase foreign currency is due primarily to a deficit from such settlements.The table below shows the immediate impact on Income/(loss)before tax of a 10%strengthening of foreign currencies relative to the Euro in the closing exchange rate of significant currencies to which we have transaction exposure,at March 31,2024.The sensitivity associated with a 10%weakening of a particular currency would be equal and opposite.This assumes that each currency moves in isolation.Swedish krona(SEK)British pound(GBP)U.S.dollar(USD)(in millions)(Decrease)/increase in income before tax(16)(15)63 Table of Contents-36-Translation Exposure SensitivityThe impact on our equity would be approximately 136 million if the Euro weakened by 10%against all translation exposure currencies,based on the exposure at March 31,2024.Interest rate riskInterest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will have a negative impact on earnings and cash flow.Our exposure to interest rate risk is related to our interest-bearing assets,including our cash and cash equivalents and our short term debt securities.Fluctuations in interest rates impact the yield of the investment.The sensitivity analysis considered the historical volatility of short term interest rates and we determined that it was reasonably possible that a change of 100 basis points could be experienced in the near term.A hypothetical 100 basis point decrease or increase in interest rates would have resulted in a change in interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents and short term investments of 11 million for the three months ended March 31,2024.Share price riskShare price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in the fair value of the Companys ordinary share price.Our exposure to this risk relates primarily to the Exchangeable Notes,outstanding warrants,and accrual for social costs on outstanding share-based compensation awards.A 10crease or increase in the Companys ordinary share price would have resulted in a fair value of the Exchangeable Notes ranging from 1,259 million to 1,285 million at March 31,2024.A 10crease or increase in the Companys ordinary share price would have resulted in a fair value of the warrants ranging from 4 million to 21 million at March 31,2024.A 10crease or increase in the Companys ordinary share price would have resulted in a change in the accrual for social costs on outstanding share-based compensation awards of 24 million at March 31,2024.Investment riskWe are exposed to investment risk as it relates to changes in the market value of our long term investments,due primarily to volatility in the share price used to measure the investment and exchange rates.The majority of our long term investments relate to TME.A 10crease or increase in TMEs share price would have resulted in a fair value of the Groups long term investment in TME ranging from 1,320 million to 1,613 million at March 31,2024.Inflation riskInflationary factors,such as increases in costs,may adversely affect our results of operations.If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures,we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases for our Premium Service or sale of advertisements.Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business,operating results,and financial condition.Critical accounting policies and estimatesWe prepare our interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.Preparing these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,liabilities,equity,revenue,expenses,and related disclosures.We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis.Our

to the Condensed Consolidated Financial StatementsNote 1-Basis of Presentation and Our DivisionsBasis of PresentationWhen used in this report,the terms“we,”“us,”“our,”“PepsiCo”and the“Company”mean PepsiCo,Inc.and its consolidated subsidiaries,collectively.The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S.Generally Accepted Accounting Principles(GAAP)for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations for reporting the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q(Form 10-Q).Accordingly,they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 30,2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date,but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.These financial statements have been prepared on a basis that is substantially consistent with the accounting principles applied in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30,2023(2023 Form 10-K).This report should be read in conjunction with our 2023 Form 10-K.In our opinion,these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation.The results for the 12 weeks ended March 23,2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any future period or the full year.Raw materials,direct labor and plant overhead,as well as purchasing and receiving costs,costs directly related to production planning,inspection costs and raw materials handling facilities,are included in cost of sales.The costs of moving,storing and delivering finished product,including merchandising activities,are included in selling,general and administrative expenses.While our financial results in the United States and Canada(North America)are reported on a 12-week basis,all of our international operations are reported on a monthly calendar basis for which the months of January and February are reflected in our results for the 12 weeks ended March 23,2024 and March 25,2023.The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.Additionally,the business and economic uncertainty resulting from volatile geopolitical conditions and the high interest rate and inflationary cost environment has made such estimates and assumptions more difficult to calculate.Accordingly,actual results and outcomes could differ from those estimates.Our significant interim accounting policies include the recognition of a pro rata share of certain estimated annual sales incentives and certain advertising and marketing costs in proportion to revenue or volume,as applicable,and the recognition of income taxes using an estimated annual effective tax rate.Unless otherwise noted,tabular dollars are in millions,except per share amounts.All per share amounts reflect common per share amounts,assume dilution unless otherwise noted,and are based on unrounded amounts.Certain reclassifications were made to the prior years financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.Our DivisionsWe are organized into seven reportable segments(also referred to as divisions),as follows:1)Frito-Lay North America(FLNA),which includes our branded convenient food businesses in the United States and Canada;Table of Contents82)Quaker Foods North America(QFNA),which includes our branded convenient food businesses,such as cereal,rice,pasta and other branded food,in the United States and Canada;3)PepsiCo Beverages North America(PBNA),which includes our beverage businesses in the United States and Canada;4)Latin America(LatAm),which includes all of our beverage and convenient food businesses in Latin America;5)Europe,which includes all of our beverage and convenient food businesses in Europe;6)Africa,Middle East and South Asia(AMESA),which includes all of our beverage and convenient food businesses in Africa,the Middle East and South Asia;and7)Asia Pacific,Australia and New Zealand and China region(APAC),which includes all of our beverage and convenient food businesses in Asia

previously announced voluntary recall of certain bars and cereals in our QFNA division(Quaker Recall).Note 2-Recently Issued Accounting PronouncementsAdoptedIn September 2022,the Financial Accounting Standards Board(FASB)issued guidance to enhance the transparency of supplier finance programs to allow financial statement users to understand the effect on working capital,liquidity and cash flows.The new guidance requires disclosure of key terms of the program,including a description of the payment terms,payment timing and assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees provided to the finance provider or intermediary.Other requirements include the disclosure of the amount that remains unpaid as of the end of the reporting period,a description of where these obligations are presented in the balance sheet and a rollforward of the obligation during the annual period.We adopted the guidance in the first quarter of 2023,except for the rollforward,which is effective for the current fiscal year 2024.We will adopt the rollforward guidance when it becomes effective in our 2024 annual reporting,on a prospective basis.See Note 12 for disclosures currently required under this guidance.Not Yet AdoptedIn December 2023,the FASB issued guidance to enhance transparency of income tax disclosures.On an annual basis,the new guidance requires a public entity to disclose:(1)specific categories in the rate reconciliation,(2)additional information for reconciling items that are equal to or greater than 5%of the amount computed by multiplying income(or loss)from continuing operations before income tax expense(or benefit)by the applicable statutory income tax rate,(3)income taxes paid(net of refunds received)disaggregated by federal(national),state,and foreign taxes,with foreign taxes disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is equal to or greater than 5%of total income taxes paid,(4)income(or loss)from continuing operations before income tax expense(or benefit)disaggregated between domestic and foreign,and(5)income tax expense(or benefit)from continuing operations disaggregated between federal(national),state and foreign.The guidance is effective for fiscal year 2025 annual reporting,with early adoption permitted,to be applied on a prospective basis,with retrospective application permitted.We will adopt the guidance when it becomes effective,in our 2025 annual reporting,on a prospective basis.Table of Contents10In November 2023,the FASB issued guidance to enhance disclosure of expenses of a public entitys reportable segments.The new guidance requires a public entity to disclose:(1)on an annual and interim basis,significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker(CODM)and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss,(2)on an annual and interim basis,an amount for other segment items(the difference between segment revenue less the significant expenses disclosed under the significant expense principle and each reported measure of segment profit or loss),including a description of its composition,(3)on an annual and interim basis,information about a reportable segments profit or loss and assets previously required to be disclosed only on an annual basis,and(4)the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s)of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and how to allocate resources.The new guidance also clarifies that if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segments profit or loss,one or more of those measures may be reported and requires that a public entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this update and all existing segment disclosures.The guidance is effective for the current fiscal year 2024 annual reporting,and in the first quarter of 2025 for interim period reporting,with early adoption permitted.Upon adoption,this guidance should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented.We will adopt the guidance when it becomes effective in our 2024 annual reporting.Note 3-Restructuring and Impairment Charges2019 Multi-Year Productivity PlanWe publicly announced a multi-year productivity plan on February 15,2019(2019 Productivity Plan)that leverages new technology and business models to further simplify,harmonize and automate processes;re-engineer our go-to-market and information systems,including deploying the right automation for each market;and simplify our organization and optimize our manufacturing and supply chain footprint.To build on the successful implementation of the 2019 Productivity Plan,in 2022,we expanded and extended the plan through the end of 2028 to take advantage of additional opportunities within the initiatives described above.As a result,we expect to incur pre-tax charges of approximately$3.65 billion,including cash expenditures of approximately$2.9 billion.These pre-tax charges are expected to consist of approximately 55%of severance and other employee-related costs,10%for asset impairments(all non-cash)resulting from plant closures and related actions,and 35%for other costs associated with the implementation of our initiatives.The total plan pre-tax charges are expected to be incurred by division approximately as

the notes and any other notes that may be issued in the future.The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by PepsiCo,Inc.on a senior unsecured basis and may be assumed at any time by PepsiCo,Inc.as the primary and sole obligor.(b)Excludes debt issuance costs,discounts and premiums.The net proceeds from the issuances of the above notes were used for general corporate purposes,including the repayment of commercial paper.In the 12 weeks ended March 23,2024,$1.3 billion of U.S.dollar-denominated senior notes matured and were paid.As of March 23,2024,we had$3.6 billion of commercial paper outstanding,excluding discounts.Table of Contents16Note 9-Financial InstrumentsWe are exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in:commodity prices,affecting the cost of our raw materials and energy;foreign exchange rates and currency restrictions;andinterest rates.There have been no material changes during the 12 weeks ended March 23,2024 with respect to our risk management policies or strategies and valuation techniques used in measuring the fair value of the financial assets or liabilities disclosed in Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2023 Form 10-K.Certain of our agreements with our counterparties require us to post full collateral on derivative instruments in a net liability position if our credit rating is at A2(Moodys Investors Service,Inc.)or A(S&P Global Ratings)and we have been placed on credit watch for possible downgrade or if our credit rating falls below either of these levels.The fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position as of March 23,2024 was$178 million.We have posted no collateral under these contracts and no credit-risk-related contingent features were triggered as of March 23,2024.The notional amounts of our financial instruments used to hedge the above risks as of March 23,2024 and December 30,2023 are as follows:Notional Amounts(a)3/23/202412/30/2023Commodity$1.5$1.7 Foreign exchange$3.9$3.8 Interest rate$1.3$1.3 Net investment(b)$3.0$3.0(a)In billions.(b)The total notional amount of our net investment hedges consists of non-derivative debt instruments.As of March 23,2024,approximately 12%of total debt,after the impact of the related interest rate derivative instruments,was subject to variable rates,compared to 9%as of December 30,2023.Debt SecuritiesHeld-to-MaturityAs of March 23,2024,we had no investments in held-to-maturity debt securities.As of December 30,2023,we had$309 million of investments in commercial paper held-to-maturity debt securities recorded in cash and cash equivalents.Held-to-maturity debt securities are recorded at amortized cost,which approximates fair value,and realized gains or losses are reported in earnings.As of December 30,2023,gross unrecognized gains and losses and the allowance for expected credit losses were not material.Available-for-SaleThere were no impairment charges related to investments in available-for-sale debt securities in both the 12 weeks ended March 23,2024 and March 25,2023.Related to our Level 3(significant unobservable inputs)investment in Celsius Holdings,Inc.(Celsius),we recorded an unrealized gain of$691 million in other comprehensive income during the 12 weeks ended March 23,2024.There were no Level 3 investments during the 12 weeks ended March 25,2023.Table of Contents17Recurring Fair Value MeasurementsThe fair values of our financial assets and liabilities as of March 23,2024 and

observable inputs)and Level 3 in both years.Unless otherwise noted,financial assets are classified on our balance sheet within prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets.Financial liabilities are classified on our balance sheet within accounts payable and other current liabilities and other liabilities.(b)Includes Level 2 assets of$180 million and Level 3 assets of$1,847 million as of March 23,2024,and Level 2 assets of$178 million and Level 3 assets of$1,156 million as of December 30,2023.As of March 23,2024 and December 30,2023,$2,027 million and$1,334 million were classified as other assets,respectively.The fair values of our Level 2 investments approximate the transaction price and any accrued returns,as well as the amortized cost.The fair value of our Level 3 investment in Celsius is estimated using probability-weighted discounted future cash flows based on a Monte Carlo simulation using significant unobservable inputs such as an 80%probability that a certain market-based condition will be met and an average estimated discount rate of 8.1sed on Celsius estimated synthetic credit rating.An increase in the probability that certain market-based conditions will be met or a decrease in the discount rate would result in a higher fair value measurement,while a decrease in the probability that certain market-based conditions will be met or an increase in the discount rate would result in a lower fair value measurement.(c)Based on the price of index funds.These investments are classified as short-term investments and are used to manage a portion of market risk arising from our deferred compensation liability.(d)Based primarily on the price of our common stock.(e)Based on the fair value of investments corresponding to employees investment elections.(f)Based on recently reported market transactions of spot and forward rates.(g)Primarily based on recently reported market transactions of swap arrangements.(h)Derivative assets and liabilities are presented on a gross basis on our balance sheet.Amounts subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements which are not offset on our balance sheet as of March 23,2024 and December 30,2023 were not material.Collateral received or posted against our asset or liability positions was not material.Exchange-traded commodity futures are cash-settled on a daily basis and,therefore,not included in the table.The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments recorded at amortized cost approximate fair value(classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy)due to their short-term maturity.The fair value of our debt obligations as of March 23,2024 and December 30,2023 was$42 billion and$41 billion,respectively,based upon prices of identical or similar instruments in the marketplace,which are considered Level 2 inputs.Table of Contents18Losses/(gains)on our cash flow and net investment hedges are categorized as

financial institutions.Under these agreements,our suppliers,at their sole discretion,may elect to sell their accounts receivable with PepsiCo to these participating global financial institutions.As of March 23,2024 and December 30,2023,$1.6 billion and$1.7 billion,respectively,of our accounts payable are to suppliers participating in these financing arrangements.For further information on the key terms of these supply chain financing programs,see Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2023 Form 10-K.Item 2.Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.FINANCIAL REVIEWOur discussion and analysis is intended to help the reader understand our results of operations and financial condition and is provided as an addition to,and should be read in connection with,our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.Unless otherwise noted,tabular dollars are presented in millions,except per share amounts.All per share amounts reflect common stock per share amounts,assume dilution unless otherwise noted,and are based on unrounded amounts.Percentage changes are based on unrounded amounts.Table of Contents21Our Critical Accounting Policies and EstimatesThe critical accounting policies and estimates below should be read in conjunction with those outlined in our 2023 Form 10-K.Total Marketplace SpendingWe offer sales incentives and discounts through various programs to customers and consumers.Total marketplace spending includes sales incentives,discounts,advertising and other marketing activities.Sales incentives and discounts are primarily accounted for as a reduction of revenue.A number of our sales incentives,such as bottler funding to independent bottlers and customer volume rebates,are based on annual targets,and accruals are established during the year,as products are delivered,for the expected payout,which may occur after year end once reconciled and settled.These accruals are based on contract terms and our historical experience with similar programs and require management judgment with respect to estimating customer and consumer participation and performance levels.Differences between estimated expense and actual incentive costs are normally insignificant and are recognized in earnings in the period such differences are determined.In addition,certain advertising and marketing costs are also based on annual targets and recognized during the year as incurred.For interim reporting,our policy is to allocate our forecasted full-year sales incentives for most of our programs to each of our interim reporting periods in the same year that benefits from the programs.The allocation methodology is based on our forecasted sales incentives for the full year and the proportion of each interim periods actual gross revenue or volume,as applicable,to our forecasted annual gross revenue or volume,as applicable.Based on our review of the forecasts at each interim period,any changes in estimates and the related allocation of sales incentives are recognized beginning in the interim period that they are identified.In addition,we apply a similar allocation methodology for interim reporting purposes for certain advertising and other marketing activities.Income TaxesIn determining our quarterly provision for income taxes,we use an estimated annual effective tax rate which is based on our expected annual income,statutory tax rates and tax structure and transactions,including transfer pricing arrangements,available to us in the various jurisdictions in which we operate.Significant judgment is required in determining our annual tax rate and in evaluating our tax positions.Subsequent recognition,derecognition and measurement of a tax position taken in a previous period are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur.Our Business RisksThis Form 10-Q contains statements reflecting our views about our future performance that constitute“forward-looking statements”within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995(Reform Act).Statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Reform Act are generally identified through the inclusion of words such as“aim,”“anticipate,”“believe,”“drive,”“estimate,”“expect,”“expressed confidence,”“forecast,”“future,”“goal,”“guidance,”“intend,”“may,”“objective,”“outlook,”“plan,”“position,”“potential,”“project,”“seek,”“should,”“strategy,”“target,”“will”or similar statements or variations of such words and other similar expressions.All statements addressing our future operating performance,and statements addressing events and developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future,are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Reform Act.These forward-looking statements are based on currently available information,operating plans and projections about future events and trends.They inherently involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted in any such forward-looking statement.Such risks and uncertainties include,but are not limited Table of Contents22to:the risks associated with the deadly conflict in Ukraine;future demand for PepsiCos products;damage to PepsiCos reputation or brand image;product recalls or other issues or concerns with respect to product quality and safety;PepsiCos ability to compete effectively;PepsiCos ability to attract,develop and maintain a highly skilled and diverse workforce or effectively manage changes in our workforce;water scarcity;changes in the retail landscape or in sales to any key customer;disruption of PepsiCos manufacturing operations or supply chain,including continued increased commodity,packaging,transportation,labor and other input costs;political,social or geopolitical conditions in the markets where PepsiCos products are made,manufactured,distributed or sold;PepsiCos ability to grow its business in developing and emerging markets;changes in economic conditions in the countries in which PepsiCo operates;future cyber incidents and other disruptions to our information systems;failure to successfully complete or manage strategic transactions;PepsiCos reliance on third-party service providers and enterprise-wide systems;climate change or measures to address climate change and other sustainability matters;strikes or work stoppages;failure to realize benefits from PepsiCos productivity initiatives;deterioration in estimates and underlying assumptions regarding future performance of our business or investments that can result in impairment charges;fluctuations or other changes in exchange rates;any downgrade or potential downgrade of PepsiCos credit ratings;imposition or proposed imposition of new or increased taxes aimed at PepsiCos products;imposition of limitations on the marketing or sale of PepsiCos products;changes in laws and regulations related to the use or disposal of plastics or other packaging materials;failure to comply with personal data protection and privacy laws;increase in income tax rates,changes in income tax laws or disagreements with tax authorities;failure to adequately protect PepsiCos intellectual property rights or infringement on intellectual property rights of others;failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations;potential liabilities and costs from litigation,claims,legal or regulatory proceedings,inquiries or investigations;and other risks and uncertainties including those described in“Item 1A.Risk Factors”and“Item 7.Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Our Business Risks,”included in our 2023 Form 10-K and in“Item 2.Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Our Business Risks”of this Form 10-Q.Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements,which speak only as of the date they are made.We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement,whether as a result of new information,future events or otherwise.Risks Associated with Commodities and Our Supply ChainDuring the 12 weeks ended March 23,2024,we continued to experience higher operating costs,including on transportation and labor costs,which may continue for the remainder of 2024.Many of the commodities used in the production and transportation of our products are purchased in the open market.The prices we pay for such items are subject to fluctuation,and we manage this risk through the use of fixed-price contracts and purchase orders,pricing agreements and derivative instruments,including swaps and futures.A number of external factors,including the ongoing conflict in Ukraine,the inflationary cost environment,adverse weather conditions,supply chain disruptions and labor shortages,have impacted and may continue to impact transportation and labor costs.When prices increase,we may or may not pass on such increases to our customers without suffering reduced volume,revenue,margins and operating results.See Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q and Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2023 Form 10-K for further information on how we manage our exposure to commodity prices.Risks Associated with Climate ChangeCertain jurisdictions in which our products are made,manufactured,distributed or sold have either imposed,or are considering imposing,new or increased legal and regulatory requirements to reduce or mitigate the potential effects of climate change,including regulation of greenhouse gas emissions and Table of Contents23potential carbon pricing programs.These new or increased legal or regulatory requirements,along with initiatives to meet our sustainability goals,could result in significant increased costs and additional investments in facilities and equipment.However,we are unable to predict the scope,nature and timing of any new or increased environmental laws and regulations and therefore cannot predict the ultimate impact of such laws and regulations on our business or financial results.We continue to monitor existing and proposed laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which our products are made,manufactured,distributed and sold and to consider actions we may take to potentially mitigate the unfavorable impact,if any,of such laws or regulations.Risks Associated with International Operations In the 12 weeks ended March 23,2024,our financial results outside of North America reflect the months of January and February.In the 12 weeks ended March 23,2024,our operations outside of the United States generated 38%of our consolidated net revenue,with Mexico,Canada,China,Russia,Brazil,the United Kingdom and South Africa comprising approximately 23%of our consolidated net revenue.As a result,we are exposed to foreign exchange risk in the international markets in which our products are made,manufactured,distributed or sold.In the 12 weeks ended March 23,2024,unfavorable foreign exchange reduced net revenue growth by 0.5 percentage points primarily due to declines in the Russian ruble and Chinese yuan,partially offset by an appreciation of the Mexican peso.Currency declines against the U.S.dollar which are not offset could adversely impact our future financial results.In addition,volatile economic,political,social and geopolitical conditions,civil unrest and wars and other military conflicts,acts of terrorism and natural disasters and other catastrophic events in certain markets in which our products are made,manufactured,distributed or sold,including in Argentina,Brazil,China,Mexico,the Middle East,Pakistan,Russia,Turkey and Ukraine,continue to result in challenging operating environments and have resulted in and could continue to result in changes in how we operate in certain of these markets.Debt and credit issues,currency controls or fluctuations in certain of these international markets(including restrictions on the transfer of funds to and from certain markets),as well as the threat or imposition of new or expanded tariffs,sanctions or export controls have also continued to impact our operations in certain of these international markets.We continue to closely monitor the economic,operating and political environment in the markets in which we operate,including risks of additional impairments or write-offs and currency devaluation,and to identify actions to potentially mitigate any unfavorable impacts on our future results.See Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for the fair values of our financial instruments as of March 23,2024 and December 30,2023 and Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2023 Form 10-K for a discussion of these items.Imposition of Taxes and Regulations on our ProductsCertain jurisdictions in which our products are made,manufactured,distributed or sold have either imposed,or are considering imposing,new or increased taxes or regulations on the manufacture,distribution or sale of our products or their packaging,ingredients or substances contained in,or attributes of,our products or their packaging,commodities used in the production of our products or their packaging or the recyclability or recoverability of our packaging.These taxes and regulations vary in scope and form.For example,some taxes apply to all beverages,including non-caloric beverages,while others apply only to beverages with a caloric sweetener(e.g.,sugar).Further,some regulations apply to all products using certain types of packaging(e.g.,plastic),while others are designed to increase the sustainability of packaging,encourage waste reduction and increased recycling rates or facilitate the waste management process or restrict the sale of products in certain packaging.We sell a wide variety of beverages and convenient foods in more than 200 countries and territories and the profile of the products we sell,the amount of revenue attributable to such products and the type of Table of Contents24packaging used vary by jurisdiction.Because of this,we cannot predict the scope or form potential taxes,regulations or other limitations on our products or their packaging may take,and therefore cannot predict the impact of such taxes,regulations or limitations on our financial results.In addition,taxes,regulations and limitations may impact us and our competitors differently.We continue to monitor existing and proposed taxes and regulations in the jurisdictions in which our products are made,manufactured,distributed and sold and to consider actions we may take to potentially mitigate the unfavorable impact,if any,of such taxes,regulations or limitations,including advocating alternative measures with respect to the imposition,form and scope of any such taxes,regulations or limitations.OECD Global Minimum TaxNumerous countries have agreed to a statement in support of the OECD model rules that propose a global minimum tax rate of 15%.Certain countries have enacted legislation incorporating the agreed global minimum tax effective in 2024.Legislation enacted as of March 23,2024 is not expected to have a material impact on our 2024 financial statements.More countries are expected to enact similar legislation,with widespread implementation of a global minimum tax by 2025.As legislation becomes effective in more countries in which we do business,our taxes could increase and negatively impact our provision for income taxes.We will continue to monitor pending legislation and implementation by countries and evaluate the potential impact on our business in future periods.Retail LandscapeOur industry continues to be affected by disruption of the retail landscape,including the continued growth in sales through e-commerce websites and mobile commerce applications,including through subscription services,the integration of physical and digital operations among retailers and the international expansion of hard discounters.We have seen and expect to continue to see a further shift to e-commerce,online-to-offline and other online purchasing by consumers.We continue to monitor changes in the retail landscape and seek to identify actions we may take to build our global e-commerce and digital capabilities,such as expanding our direct-to-consumer business,and distribute our products effectively through all existing and emerging channels of trade and potentially mitigate any unfavorable impacts on our future results.The retail industry also continues to be impacted by the actions and increasing power of retailers,including as a result consolidation of ownership resulting in large retailers or buying groups with increased purchasing power,particularly in North America,Europe and Latin America.We have seen and expect to continue to see retailers and buying groups impact our ability to compete in these jurisdictions.We continue to monitor our relationships with retailers and buying groups and seek to identify actions we may take to maintain mutually beneficial relationships and resolve any significant disputes and potentially mitigate any unfavorable impacts on our future results.Cautionary statements included above and in“Item 1A.Risk Factors”and“Item 7.Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Our Business Risks”in our 2023 Form 10-K should be considered when evaluating our trends and future results.Results of Operations Consolidated ReviewConsolidated ResultsVolumePhysical or unit volume is one of the key metrics management uses internally to make operating and strategic decisions,including the preparation of our annual operating plan and the evaluation of our business performance.We believe volume provides additional information to facilitate the comparison of our historical operating performance and underlying trends and provides additional transparency on how we evaluate our business because it measures demand for our products at the consumer level.See“Item 7.Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Our Financial Table of Contents25Results Volume”included in our 2023 Form 10-K for further information on volume.Unit volume growth adjusts for the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures.Acquisitions and divestitures,when used in this report,reflect mergers and acquisitions activity,as well as divestitures and other structural changes,including changes in ownership or control in consolidated subsidiaries and nonconsolidated equity investees.Further,unit volume growth excludes the impact of an additional week of results every five or six years(53rd reporting week),where applicable.We report all of our international operations on a monthly calendar basis.The 12 weeks ended March 23,2024 and March 25,2023 include volume outside of North America for the months of January and February.Consolidated Net Revenue and Operating Profit 12 Weeks Ended 3/23/20243/25/2023ChangeNet revenue$18,250$17,846 2%Operating profit$2,717$2,629 3%Operating margin

points.Operating profit growth was primarily driven by effective net pricing and productivity savings.These impacts were partially offset by certain operating cost increases,a decline in organic volume and a 5-percentage-point impact of charges associated with the Quaker Recall.Corporate unallocated expenses reflect a 3-percentage-point favorable impact of net mark-to-market gains on commodity derivatives.Other Consolidated Results 12 Weeks Ended 3/23/20243/25/2023ChangeOther pension and retiree medical benefits income$58$61$(3)Net interest expense and other$202$200$2 Tax rate

million,primarily reflecting the recognition of special termination benefits due to restructuring actions as part of our 2019 Productivity Plan,partially offset by the recognition of gains on plan assets and impact of discretionary plan contributions.Net interest expense and other increased$2 million,primarily due to higher interest rates on debt and higher average debt balances,partially offset by higher average cash balances,higher gains on the market value of investments used to economically hedge a portion of our deferred compensation liability and higher interest rates on average cash balances.The reported tax rate decreased 1.7 percentage points,primarily reflecting the favorable impact of reserves for international unrecognized tax benefits recorded in the prior year.Table of Contents26Results of Operations Division ReviewWhile our financial results in North America are reported on a 12-week basis,all of our international operations are reported on a monthly calendar basis for which the months of January and February are reflected in our results for the 12 weeks ended March 23,2024 and March 25,2023.In the discussions of net revenue and operating profit below,“effective net pricing”reflects the year-over-year impact of discrete pricing actions,sales incentive activities and mix resulting from selling varying products in different package sizes and in different countries.See“Our Business Risks,”“Non-GAAP Measures”and“Items Affecting Comparability”for a discussion of items to consider when evaluating our results and related information regarding measures not in accordance with GAAP.Net Revenue and Organic Revenue GrowthOrganic revenue growth is a non-GAAP financial measure.For further information on this measure,see“Non-GAAP Measures.”12

commodity costs.These impacts were partially offset by certain operating cost increases,higher advertising and marketing expenses and a 5-percentage-point impact of unfavorable foreign exchange.Non-GAAP MeasuresCertain financial measures contained in this Form 10-Q adjust for the impact of specified items and are not in accordance with GAAP.We use non-GAAP financial measures internally to make operating and Table of Contents30strategic decisions,including the preparation of our annual operating plan,evaluation of our overall business performance and as a factor in determining compensation for certain employees.We believe presenting non-GAAP financial measures in this Form 10-Q provides additional information to facilitate comparison of our historical operating results and trends in our underlying operating results and provides additional transparency on how we evaluate our business.We also believe presenting these measures in this Form 10-Q allows investors to view our performance using the same measures that we use in evaluating our financial and business performance and trends.We consider quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing whether to adjust for the impact of items that may be significant or that could affect an understanding of our ongoing financial and business performance or trends.Examples of items for which we may make adjustments include:amounts related to mark-to-market gains or losses(non-cash);charges related to restructuring plans;charges associated with acquisitions and divestitures;gains associated with divestitures;asset impairment charges(non-cash);product recall-related impact;pension and retiree medical-related amounts,including all settlement and curtailment gains and losses;charges or adjustments related to the enactment of new laws,rules or regulations,such as tax law changes;amounts related to the resolution of tax positions;tax benefits related to reorganizations of our operations;debt redemptions,cash tender or exchange offers;and remeasurements of net monetary assets.See below and“Items Affecting Comparability”for a description of adjustments to our GAAP financial measures in this Form 10-Q.Non-GAAP information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.In addition,our non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as or comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies.The following non-GAAP financial measures contained in this Form 10-Q are discussed below:Cost of sales,gross profit,selling,general and administrative expenses,other pension and retiree medical benefits income,provision for income taxes,net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and net income attributable to PepsiCo,each adjusted for items affecting comparability,operating profit and net income attributable to PepsiCo per common share diluted,each adjusted for items affecting comparability and the corresponding constant currency growth ratesThese measures exclude the net impact of mark-to-market gains and losses on centrally managed commodity derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting,restructuring and impairment charges related to our 2019 Productivity Plan,charges associated with our acquisitions and divestitures,impairment and other charges/credits and product recall-related impact(see“Items Affecting Comparability”for a detailed description of each of these items).We also evaluate performance on operating profit and net income attributable to PepsiCo per common share diluted,each adjusted for items affecting comparability on a constant currency basis,which measure our financial results assuming constant foreign currency exchange rates used for translation based on the rates in effect for the comparable prior-year period.In order to compute our constant currency results,we multiply or divide,as appropriate,our current-year U.S.dollar results by the current-year average foreign exchange rates and then multiply or divide,as appropriate,those amounts by the prior-year average foreign exchange rates.We believe these measures provide useful information in evaluating the results of our business because they exclude items that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing performance or that we believe impact comparability with the prior year.Organic revenue growthWe define organic revenue growth as a measure that adjusts for the impacts of foreign exchange translation,acquisitions and divestitures and where applicable,the impact of the 53rd reporting week.We believe organic revenue growth provides useful information in evaluating the results of our business Table of Contents31because it excludes items that we believe are not indicative of ongoing performance or that we believe impact comparability with the prior year.See“Net Revenue and Organic Revenue Growth”in“Results of Operations Division Review”for further information.Free cash flowWe define free cash flow as net cash from operating activities less capital spending,plus sales of property,plant and equipment.Since net capital spending is essential to our product innovation initiatives and maintaining our operational capabilities,we believe that it is a recurring and necessary use of cash.As such,we believe investors should also consider net capital spending when evaluating our cash from operating activities.Free cash flow is used by us primarily for acquisitions and financing activities,including debt repayments,dividends and share repurchases.Free cash flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures since we have certain non-discretionary obligations such as debt service that are not deducted from the measure.See“Free Cash Flow”in“Our Liquidity and Capital Resources”for further information.Table of Contents32Items Affecting

divisions.These commodity derivatives include agricultural products,energy and metals.Commodity derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are marked to market each period with the resulting gains and losses recorded in corporate unallocated expenses as either cost of sales or selling,general and administrative expenses,depending on the underlying commodity.These gains and losses are subsequently reflected in division results when the divisions recognize the cost of the underlying commodity in operating profit.Therefore,the divisions realize the economic effects of the derivative without experiencing any resulting mark-to-market volatility,which remains in corporate unallocated expenses.Restructuring and Impairment Charges2019 Multi-Year Productivity PlanThe 2019 Productivity Plan,publicly announced on February 15,2019,leverages new technology and business models to further simplify,harmonize and automate processes;re-engineer our go-to-market and information systems,including deploying the right automation for each market;and simplify our organization and optimize our manufacturing and supply chain footprint.To build on the successful implementation of the 2019 Productivity Plan,in 2022,we expanded and extended the plan through the end of 2028 to take advantage of additional opportunities within the initiatives described above.As a result,we expect to incur pre-tax charges of approximately$3.65 billion,including cash expenditures of approximately$2.9 billion.Plan to date through March 23,2024,we have incurred pre-tax charges of$2.0 billion,including cash expenditures of$1.5 billion.For the remainder of 2024,we expect to incur pre-tax charges of approximately$400 million,and cash expenditures of approximately$400 million.These charges will be funded primarily through cash from operations.We expect to incur the majority of the remaining pre-tax charges and cash expenditures through 2025,with the balance to be incurred through 2028.Charges include severance and other employee costs,asset impairments and other costs.See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q,as well as Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2023 Form 10-K,for further information related to our 2019 Productivity Plan.We regularly evaluate productivity initiatives beyond the productivity plan and other initiatives discussed above and in Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.Acquisition and Divestiture-Related ChargesAcquisition and divestiture-related charges primarily include costs associated with divestitures,primarily consulting,advisory and other professional fees.Impairment and Other Charges/CreditsWe recognized adjustments to the charges recorded in prior years from changes in estimates of previously recorded amounts.Product Recall-Related ImpactWe recognized property,plant and equipment write-offs,employee severance costs and other costs in our QFNA division associated with a previously announced voluntary recall of certain bars and cereals.See Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.Our Liquidity and Capital ResourcesWe believe that our cash generating capability and financial condition,together with our revolving credit facilities,working capital lines and other available methods of debt financing,such as commercial paper Table of Contents34borrowings and long-term debt financing,will be adequate to meet our operating,investing and financing needs,including with respect to our net capital spending plans.Our primary sources of liquidity include cash from operations,proceeds obtained from issuances of commercial paper and long-term debt,and cash and cash equivalents.These sources of cash are available to fund cash outflows that have both a short-and long-term component,including debt repayments and related interest payments;payments for acquisitions;operating leases;purchase,marketing,and other contractual commitments,including capital expenditures and the transition tax liability under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act(TCJ Act).In addition,these sources of cash fund other cash outflows including anticipated dividend payments and share repurchases.We do not have guarantees or off-balance sheet financing arrangements,including variable interest entities,that we believe could have a material impact on our liquidity.See“Our Business Risks”and Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q and“Item 1A.Risk Factors,”“Item 7.Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Our Business Risks”and Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2023 Form 10-K for further information.As of March 23,2024,cash,cash equivalents and short-term investments in our consolidated subsidiaries subject to currency controls or currency exchange restrictions were not material.The TCJ Act imposed a one-time mandatory transition tax on undistributed international earnings.As of March 23,2024,our mandatory transition tax liability was$2.3 billion,which must be paid through 2026 under the provisions of the TCJ Act.See“Our Liquidity and Capital Resources”and Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2023 Form 10-K for further discussion of the TCJ Act.Supply chain financing arrangements did not have a material impact on our liquidity or capital resources in the periods presented and we do not expect such arrangements to have a material impact on our liquidity or capital resources for the foreseeable future.See Note 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of supply chain financing arrangements.Operating ActivitiesDuring the 12 weeks ended March 23,2024,net cash used for operating activities was$1.0 billion,compared to net cash used for operating activities of$0.4 billion in the prior-year period.The decrease in operating cash flow primarily reflects unfavorable working capital comparisons,partially offset by favorable operating profit performance.Investing ActivitiesDuring the 12 weeks ended March 23,2024,net cash used for investing activities was$0.6 billion,primarily reflecting net capital spending.We regularly review our plans with respect to net capital spending and believe that we have sufficient liquidity to meet our net capital spending needs.Financing ActivitiesDuring the 12 weeks ended March 23,2024,net cash provided by financing activities was$10 million,primarily reflecting the proceeds from issuances of long-term debt of$1.8 billion and net proceeds of short-term borrowings of$1.5 billion,partially offset by the return of operating cash flow to our shareholders through dividend payments of$1.8 billion and share repurchases of$0.1 billion,as well as payments of long-term debt borrowings of$1.3 billion.We annually review our capital structure with our Board of Directors,including our dividend policy and share repurchase activity.On February 10,2022,we announced a share repurchase program providing for the repurchase of up to$10.0 billion of PepsiCo common stock which commenced on February 11,2022 and will expire on February 28,2026.In addition,on February 9,2024,we announced a 7%increase in Table of Contents35our annualized dividend to$5.42 per share from$5.06 per share,effective with the dividend expected to be paid in June 2024.We expect to return a total of approximately$8.2 billion to shareholders in 2024,comprising dividends of approximately$7.2 billion and share repurchases of approximately$1.0 billion.Free Cash Flow The table below reconciles net cash used for operating activities,as reflected on our cash flow statement,to our free cash flow.Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure.For further information on free cash flow,see“Non-GAAP Measures.”12 Weeks Ended 3/23/20243/25/2023Net cash used for operating activities,GAAP measure$(1,041)$(392)Capital spending(614)(581)Sales of property,plant and equipment 7 19 Free cash flow,non-GAAP measure$(1,648)$(954)We use free cash flow primarily for acquisitions and financing activities,including debt repayments,dividends and share repurchases.We expect to continue to return free cash flow to our shareholders primarily through dividends while maintaining Tier 1 commercial paper access,which we believe will facilitate appropriate financial flexibility and ready access to global capital and credit markets at favorable interest rates.See“Our Business Risks”included in this Form 10-Q and“Item 1A.Risk Factors”and“Item 7.Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Our Business Risks,”included in our 2023 Form 10-K,for certain factors that may impact our credit ratings or our operating cash flows.Any downgrade of our credit ratings by a credit rating agency,especially any downgrade to below investment grade,whether or not as a result of our actions or factors which are beyond our control,could increase our future borrowing costs and impair our ability to access capital and credit markets on terms commercially acceptable to us,or at all.In addition,any downgrade of our current short-term credit ratings could impair our ability to access the commercial paper market with the same flexibility that we have experienced historically,and therefore require us to rely more heavily on more expensive types of debt financing.See Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements and“Our Business Risks”included in this Form 10-Q,as well as“Item 1A.Risk Factors”and“Item 7.Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Our Business Risks”included in our 2023 Form 10-K for further information.Table of Contents36Changes in Line Items in Our Condensed Consolidated Financial StatementsChanges in line items in the income statement are discussed in“Results of Operations Consolidated Review,”“Results of Operations Division Review”and“Items Affecting Comparability.”Changes in line items in the cash flow statement are discussed in“Our Liquidity and Capital Resources.”Changes in line items in the balance sheet are discussed below:Total AssetsAs of March 23,2024,total assets were$100.0 billion,compared to$100.5 billion as of December 30,2023.The decrease in total assets is primarily driven by the following line item:Change(a)Cash and cash equivalents(b)$(1.7)Total LiabilitiesAs of March 23,2024,total liabilities were$80.9 billion,compared to$81.9 billion as of December 30,2023.The decrease in total liabilities is primarily driven by the following line items:Change(a)Short-term debt obligations(c)$1.7 Accounts payable and other current liabilities(d)$(3.1)(a)In billions.(b)Refer to the cash flow statement for further information.(c)See Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.(d)Primarily reflects timing of payments,combined with a decrease in production and capital expenditure payables across our divisions.Total EquitySee the equity statement and Notes 9 and 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.Table of Contents37Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting FirmTo the Shareholders and Board of Directors PepsiCo,Inc.:Results of Review of Interim Financial Information We have reviewed the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of PepsiCo,Inc.and subsidiaries(the Company)as of March 23,2024,the related Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income,Comprehensive Income,Cash Flows and Equity for the twelve weeks ended March 23,2024 and March 25,2023,and the related notes(collectively,the consolidated interim financial information).Based on our reviews,we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial information for it to be in conformity with U.S.generally accepted accounting principles.We have previously audited,in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board(United States)(PCAOB),the Consolidated Balance Sheet of the Company as of December 30,2023,and the related Consolidated Statements of Income,Comprehensive Income,Cash Flows and Equity for the fiscal year then ended(not presented herein);and in our report dated February 8,2024,we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.In our opinion,the information set forth in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 30,2023,is fairly stated,in all material respects,in relation to the Consolidated Balance Sheet from which it has been derived.Basis for Review ResultsThis consolidated interim financial information is the responsibility of the Companys management.We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S.federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.A review of consolidated interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB,the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.Accordingly,we do not express such an opinion./s/KPMG LLPNew York,New YorkApril 22,2024Table of Contents38ITEM 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.See“Item 2.Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Our Business Risks.”In addition,see“Item 1A.Risk Factors,”“Item 7.Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Our Business Risks”and Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2023 Form 10-K.ITEM 4.Controls and Procedures.As of the end of the period covered by this report,we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management,including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures,as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e)and 15d-15(e)of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,as amended(the Exchange Act).Based upon that evaluation,our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is(1)recorded,processed,summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms,and(2)accumulated and communicated to our management,including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,as appropriate,to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.During the 12 weeks ended March 23,2024,we continued migrating certain of our financial processing systems to an Enterprise Resource Planning(ERP)system.These systems implementations are part of our ongoing global business transformation initiative,and we plan to continue implementing such systems throughout other parts of our businesses in phases over the next several years.In connection with these ERP implementations,we are updating and will continue to update our internal control over financial reporting,as necessary,to accommodate modifications to our business processes and accounting procedures.During the 12 weeks ended March 23,2024,we continued implementing these systems,resulting in changes that materially affected our internal control over financial reporting.These system implementations did not have an adverse effect,nor do we expect will have an adverse effect,on our internal control over financial reporting.In addition,in connection with our 2019 multi-year productivity plan,we continue to migrate to shared business models across our operations to further simplify,harmonize and automate processes.In connection with this multi-year productivity plan and resulting business process changes,we continue to enhance the design and documentation of our internal control over financial reporting processes,to maintain effective controls over our financial reporting.These business process changes have not materially affected,and we do not expect them to materially affect,our internal control over financial reporting.Except with respect to the continued implementation of ERP systems,there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the 12 weeks ended March 23,2024 that have materially affected,or are reasonably likely to materially affect,our internal control over financial reporting.We will continue to assess the impact on our internal control over financial reporting as we continue to implement our ERP solution and our 2019 multi-year productivity plan.Table of Contents39PART II OTHER INFORMATIO

2024,the Company reorganized certain reporting units and its segment reporting structure.As a result of the reorganization of divisions within PSG and AMG,the prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current-period presentation.SECOND QUARTER 2024 OUTLOOKThe following table outlines onsemis projected second quarter of 2024 GAAP and non-GAAP outlook.Total onsemiGAAPSpecialItems*Total onsemiNon-GAAP*Revenue$1,680 to$1,780 million-$1,680 to$1,780 millionGross Margin44.1%to 46.1%0.1D.2%to 46.2%Operating Expenses$327 to$342 million$14 million$313 to$328 millionOther Income and Expense(including interest),net($12 million)-($12 million)Diluted Earnings Per Share$0.82 to$0.94$0.04$0.86 to$0.98Diluted Shares Outstanding*436 million4 million432 million*Diluted shares outstanding can vary as a result of,among other things,the vesting of restricted stock units,the incremental dilutive shares from the convertible senior subordinated notes,and the repurchase or the issuance of stock or convertible notes or the sale of treasury shares.In periods when the quarterly average stock price per share exceeds$52.97 for the 0%Notes,and$103.87 for the 0.50%Notes,the non-GAAP diluted share count and non-GAAP net income per share include the anti-dilutive impact of the hedge transactions entered concurrently with the 0%Notes,and the 0.50%Notes,respectively.At an average stock price per share between$52.97 and$74.34 for the 0%Notes,and$103.87 and$156.78 for the 0.50%Notes,the hedging activity offsets the potentially dilutive effect of the 0%Notes,and the 0.50%Notes,respectively.In periods when the quarterly average stock price exceeds$74.34 for the 0%Notes,and$156.78 for the 0.50%Notes,the dilutive impact of the warrants issued concurrently with such notes is included in the diluted shares outstanding.GAAP and non-GAAP diluted share counts are based on either the previous quarters average stock price or the stock price as of the last day of the previous quarter,whichever is higher.*Special items may include:amortization of acquisition-related intangibles;expensing of appraised inventory fair market value step-up;non-recurring facility costs;in-process research and development expenses;restructuring,asset impairments and other,net;goodwill impairment charges;gains and losses on debt prepayment;actuarial(gains)losses on pension plans and other pension benefits;and certain other special items,as necessary.These special items are out of our control and could change significantly from period to period.As a result,we are not able to reasonably estimate and separately present the individual impact or probable significance of these special items,and we are similarly unable to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures.The reconciliation that is unavailable would include a forward-looking income statement,balance sheet and statement of cash flows in accordance with GAAP.For this reason,we use a projected range of the aggregate amount of special items in order to calculate our projected non-GAAP operating expense outlook.2*We believe these non-GAAP measures provide important supplemental information to investors.We use these measures,together with GAAP measures,for internal managerial purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons.However,we do not,and you should not,rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance.We believe that non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that,when taken together with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures that we also provide in our releases,provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business.Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized,it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies non-GAAP financial measures,even if they have similar names.TELECONFERENCEonsemi will host a conference call for the financial community at 9 a.m.Eastern Time(ET)on April 29,2024 to discuss

NON-GAAP DISCLOSURES(Continued)(in millions,except per share and percentage data)10To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP,onsemi uses certain non-GAAP measures,which are adjusted from the most directly comparable GAAP measures to exclude items related to the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles,expensing of appraised inventory fair market value step-up,inventory valuation adjustments,in-process research and development expenses,restructuring,asset impairments and other,net,goodwill impairment charges,gains and losses on debt prepayment,non-cash interest expense,actuarial(gains)losses on pension plans and other pension benefits,third party acquisition and divestiture-related costs,tax impact of these items and certain other non-recurring items,as necessary.Management does not consider the effects of these items in evaluating the core operational activities of onsemi.Management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to make strategic decisions,forecast future results and evaluate onsemis current performance.In addition,the Company believes that most analysts covering onsemi use the non-GAAP measures to evaluate onsemis performance.Given managements and other relevant parties use of these non-GAAP measures,onsemi believes these measures are important to investors in understanding onsemis current and future operating results as seen through the eyes of management.In addition,management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in enabling them to better assess changes in onsemis core business across different time periods.These non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with,and should not be considered alternatives or necessarily superior to,GAAP financial data and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized,it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies non-GAAP financial measures,even if they have similar names.Non-GAAP RevenueThe use of non-GAAP revenue allows management to evaluate,among other things,the revenue from the Companys core businesses and trends across different reporting periods on a consistent basis,independent of special items.In addition,non-GAAP revenue is an important component of managements internal performance measurement and incentive and reward process as it is used to assess the current and historical financial results of the business and for strategic decision making,preparing budgets,obtaining targets and forecasting future results.Management presents this non-GAAP financial measure to enable investors and analysts to evaluate the Companys revenue generation performance relative to the direct costs of operations of onsemis core businesses.Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Gross MarginThe use of non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin allows management to evaluate,among other things,the gross margin and gross profit of the Companys core businesses and trends across different reporting periods on a consistent basis,independent of non-cash items including,generally speaking,expensing of appraised inventory fair market value step-up,impact of business wind down and non-recurring facility costs.In addition,it is an important component of managements internal performance measurement and incentive and reward process as it is used to assess the current and historical financial results of the business and for strategic decision making,preparing budgets,obtaining targets and forecasting future results.Management presents this non-GAAP financial measure to enable investors and analysts to evaluate our revenue generation performance relative to the direct costs of revenue of onsemis core businesses.Non-GAAP Operating Income and Operating MarginThe use of non-GAAP operating income and operating margin allows management to evaluate,among other things,the operating margin and operating income of the Companys core businesses and trends across different reporting periods on a consistent basis,independent of non-cash items including,generally speaking,expensing of appraised inventory fair market value step-up,impact of business wind down,non-recurring facility costs,amortization and impairments of intangible assets,third party acquisition and divestiture-related costs,restructuring charges and certain other special items as necessary.In addition,it is an important component of managements internal performance measurement and incentive and reward process as it is used to assess the current and historical financial results of the business and for strategic decision making,preparing budgets,obtaining targets and forecasting future results.Management presents this non-GAAP financial measure to enable investors and analysts to evaluate the Companys revenue generation performance relative to the direct costs of operations of onsemis core businesses.Non-GAAP Net Income Attributable to ON Semiconductor Corporation and Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings Per ShareThe use of non-GAAP net income attributable to onsemi and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share allows management to evaluate the operating results of onsemis core businesses and trends across different reporting periods on a consistent basis,independent of non-cash items including,generally,the amortization and impairments of intangible assets,expensing of appraised inventory fair market value step-up,impact of business wind down,non-recurring facility costs,restructuring,gains and losses on debt prepayment,actuarial(gains)losses on pension plans and other pension benefits,third party acquisition and NON-GAAP MEASURES11divestiture-related costs,discrete tax items and other non-GAAP tax adjustments and certain other special items,as necessary.In addition,these items are important components of managements internal performance measurement and incentive and reward process,as they are used to assess the current and historical financial results of the business and for strategic decision making,preparing budgets,setting targets and forecasting future results.For our non-GAAP reporting,we are utilizing a projected and normalized non-GAAP effective tax rate of 16%.We calculate this non-GAAP effective tax rate on an annual basis.We expect to use this normalized non-GAAP effective tax rate of 16%through 2025,however,we may update this non-GAAP effective tax rate at any time for a variety of reasons,including,but not limited to,the rapidly evolving global tax environment,significant changes in our geographic earnings mix or changes to our strategy or business operations.Management presents these non-GAAP financial measures to enable investors and analysts to understand the results of operations of onsemis core businesses and,to the extent comparable,to compare our results of operations on a more consistent basis against those of other companies in our industry.Free Cash FlowThe use of free cash flow allows management to evaluate,among other things,the ability of the Company to make interest or principal payments on its debt.Free cash flow is defined as the difference between cash flow from operating activities and capital expenditures disclosed under investing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.Free cash flow is not an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity.It is an important component of managements internal performance measurement and incentive and reward process as it is used to assess the current and historical financial results of the business and for strategic decision making,preparing budgets,obtaining targets and forecasting future results.Management presents this non-GAAP financial measure to enable investors and analysts to evaluate our revenue generation performance relative to the direct costs of operations of onsemis core businesses.Non-GAAP Diluted Share CountThe use of non-GAAP diluted share count allows management to evaluate,among other things,the potential dilution due to the outstanding restricted stock units excluding the dilution from the convertible notes that is covered by hedging activity up to a certain threshold.In periods when the quarterly average stock price per share exceeds$52.97 for the 0%Notes and$103.87 for the 0.50%Notes,the non-GAAP diluted share count includes the anti-dilutive impact of the Companys hedge transactions issued concurrently with the 0%Notes and the 0.50%Notes,respectively.At an average stock price per share between$52.97 and$74.34 for the 0%Notes and$103.87 and$156.78 for the 0.50%Notes,the hedging activity offsets the potentially dilutive effect of the 0%Notes and the 0.50%Notes,respectively.In periods when the quarterly average stock price exceeds$74.34 for the 0%Notes and$156.78 for the 0.50%Notes,the dilutive impact of the warrants issued concurrently with such notes are included in the diluted shares outstanding.NON-GAAP MEASURES(Continued)12

DISCLOSURESUnaudited Interim Financial InformationWe have prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission(the“SEC”)for interim financial reporting.These consolidated financial statements are unaudited and,in our opinion,include all adjustments,consisting ofnormal recurring adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated cash flows,operating results,and balance sheets for the periodspresented.Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for 2024 due to seasonal and otherfactors.Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generallyaccepted in the United States(“GAAP”)have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC.These consolidated financial statementsshould be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in Item 8 of Part II,“Financial Statements andSupplementary Data,”of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.Prior Period ReclassificationsCertain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.“Other assets”were reclassified out of“Accountsreceivable,net and other”on our consolidated statements of cash flows.Principles of ConsolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the accounts of A,Inc.and its consolidated entities(collectively,the“Company”),consisting ofits wholly-owned subsidiaries and those entities in which we have a variable interest and of which we are the primary beneficiary,including certain entities inIndia and certain entities that support our health care services and seller lending financing activities.Intercompany balances and transactions betweenconsolidated entities are eliminated.Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets andliabilities,revenues and expenses,and related disclosures of contingent liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.Estimatesare used for,but not limited to,income taxes,useful lives of equipment,commitments and contingencies,valuation of acquired intangibles and goodwill,stock-based compensation forfeiture rates,vendor funding,inventory valuation,collectability of receivables,impairment of property and equipment and operatingleases,valuation and impairment of investments,self-insurance liabilities,and viewing patterns of capitalized video content.Actual results could differmaterially from these estimates.We review the useful lives of equipment on an ongoing basis,and effective January 1,2024 we changed our estimate of the useful lives for our serversfrom five to six years.The longer useful lives are due to continuous improvements in our hardware,software,and data center designs.The effect of this changein estimate for Q1 2024,based on servers that were included in“Property and equipment,net”as of December 31,2023 and those acquired during the threemonths ended March 31,2024,was a reduction in depreciation and amortization expense of$897 million and a benefit to net income of$695 million,or$0.07per basic share and$0.07 per diluted share.7Table of ContentsSupplemental Cash Flow InformationThe following table shows supplemental cash flow information(in millions):Three Months EndedMarch 31,Twelve Months EndedMarch

outstanding common shares including the dilutive effect of stock awards as determined under the treasury stock method.In periods when wehave a net loss,stock awards are excluded from our calculation of earnings per share as their inclusion would have an antidilutive effect.The following table shows the calculation of diluted shares(in millions):Three Months EndedMarch 31,20232024Shares used in

investment in Rivian Automotive,Inc.(“Rivian”).As of March 31,2024,we held 158 million shares of Rivians Class A common stock,representing an approximate 16%ownership interest,and an approximate 15%voting interest.We determined that we have the ability to exercise significantinfluence over Rivian through our equity investment,our commercial arrangement for the purchase of electric vehicles and jointly-owned intellectual property,and one of our employees serving on Rivians board of directors.We elected the fair value option to account for our equity investment in Rivian,which isincluded in“Marketable securities”on our consolidated balance sheets,and had a fair value of$3.7 billion and$1.7 billion as of December 31,2023 andMarch 31,2024.8Table of ContentsRequired summarized financial information of Rivian as disclosed in its most recent SEC filings is as follows(in millions):Twelve Months Ended December 31,20222023Revenues$1,658$4,434 Gross profit(3,123)(2,030)Loss from operations(6,856)(5,739)Net loss(6,752)(5,432)InventoriesInventories,consisting of products available for sale,are primarily accounted for using the first-in,first-out method,and are valued at the lower of costand net realizable value.This valuation requires us to make judgments,based on currently available information,about the likely method of disposition,suchas through sales to individual customers,returns to product vendors,or liquidations,and expected recoverable values of each disposition category.Theinventory valuation allowance,representing a write-down of inventory,was$3.0 billion and$2.6 billion as of December 31,2023 and March 31,2024.Accounts Receivable,Net and OtherIncluded in“Accounts receivable,net and other”on our consolidated balance sheets are receivables primarily related to customers,vendors,and sellers,as well as prepaid expenses and other current assets.As of December 31,2023 and March 31,2024,customer receivables,net,were$34.1 billion and$31.8billion,vendor receivables,net,were$8.5 billion and$6.7 billion,seller receivables,net,were$1.0 billion and$0.6 billion,and other receivables,net,were$3.3 billion and$3.1 billion.Seller receivables are amounts due from sellers related to our seller lending program,which provides funding to sellers primarilyto procure inventory.Prepaid expenses and other current assets were$5.4 billion and$5.6 billion as of December 31,2023 and March 31,2024.We estimate losses on receivables based on expected losses,including our historical experience of actual losses.The allowance for doubtful accounts was$1.7 billion as of December 31,2023 and March 31,2024.Digital Video and Music ContentThe total capitalized costs of video,which is primarily released content,and music as of December 31,2023 and March 31,2024 were$17.4 billion and$17.9 billion.Total video and music expense was$4.0 billion and$4.6 billion in Q1 2023 and Q1 2024.Unearned RevenueUnearned revenue is recorded when payments are received or due in advance of performing our service obligations and is recognized over the serviceperiod.Unearned revenue primarily relates to prepayments of AWS services and Amazon Prime memberships.Our total unearned revenue as of December 31,2023 was$20.9 billion,of which$6.1 billion was recognized as revenue during the three months ended March 31,2024.Included in“Other long-termliabilities”on our consolidated balance sheets was$5.7 billion and$6.4 billion of unearned revenue as of December 31,2023 and March 31,2024.Additionally,we have performance obligations,primarily related to AWS,associated with commitments in customer contracts for future services thathave not yet been recognized in our consolidated financial statements.For contracts with original terms that exceed one year,those commitments not yetrecognized were$157.7 billion as of March 31,2024.The weighted-average remaining life of our long-term contracts is 4.1 years.However,the amount andtiming of revenue recognition is largely driven by customer usage,which can extend beyond the original contractual term.Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet AdoptedIn December 2023,the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an Accounting Standards Update(“ASU”)amending existing income tax disclosureguidance,primarily requiring more detailed disclosure for income taxes paid and the effective tax rate reconciliation.The ASU is effective for annual reportingperiods beginning after December 15,2024,with early adoption permitted,and can be applied on either a prospective or retroactive basis.We are currentlyevaluating the ASU to determine its impact on our income tax disclosures.9Table of ContentsNote 2 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSCash,Cash Equivalents,Restricted Cash,and Marketable SecuritiesAs of December 31,2023 and March 31,2024,our cash,cash equivalents,restricted cash,and marketable securities primarily consisted of cash,AAA-rated money market funds,U.S.and foreign government and agency securities,other investment grade securities,and marketable equity securities.Cashequivalents and marketable securities are recorded at fair value.Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer aliability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.To increase the comparability of fair value measures,the followinghierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value:Level 1Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.Level 2Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1,such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities inactive markets,quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active,or other inputs that are observable or can becorroborated by observable market data.Level 3Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions,consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by othermarket participants.These valuations require significant judgment.We measure the fair value of money market funds and certain marketable equity securities based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets orliabilities.Other marketable securities were valued either based on recent trades of securities in inactive markets or based on quoted market prices of similarinstruments and other significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.10Table of ContentsThe following table summarizes,by major security type,our cash,cash equivalents,restricted cash,and marketable securities that are measured at fairvalue on a recurring basis and are categorized using the

giving us the right to acquire stock of other companies.As of December 31,2023 and March 31,2024,these warrants had a fairvalue of$2.2 billion and$2.1 billion,with gains and losses recognized in“Other income(expense),net”on our consolidated statements of operations.Thesewarrants are classified as Level 2 and 3 assets.As of December 31,2023 and March 31,2024,equity investments not accounted for under the equity-method and without readily determinable fairvalues had a carrying value of$754 million and$801 million,with adjustments recognized in“Other income(expense),net”on our consolidated statements ofoperations.In Q3 2023,we invested in a$1.25 billion note from Anthropic,PBC,which is convertible to equity.In Q1 2024,we invested$2.75 billion in a secondconvertible note.The notes are classified as available for sale and reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in“Accumulated othercomprehensive income(loss).”The notes are classified as Level 3 assets.We also

on theconsolidated balance sheets,and certain products offered in our Whole Foods Market stores.For those digital media content agreements with variableterms,we do not estimate the total obligation beyond any minimum quantities and/or pricing as of the reporting date.Purchase obligations associated withrenewal provisions solely at the option of the content provider are included to the extent such commitments are fixed or a minimum amount is specified.Renewable energy agreements based on actual generation without a fixed or minimum volume commitment are not included.These agreements alsoprovide the right to receive renewable energy certificates for no additional consideration.(3)Includes asset retirement obligations,liabilities associated with digital media content agreements

construction.Excludesapproximately$5.5 billion of income tax contingencies for which we cannot make a reasonably reliable estimate of the amount and period of payment,ifany.Other ContingenciesWe are disputing claims and denials of refunds or credits,and monitoring or evaluating potential claims,related to various non-income taxes(such assales,value added,consumption,service,and similar taxes),including in jurisdictions in which we already collect and remit these taxes.These non-income taxcontroversies typically include(i)the taxability of products and services,including cross-border intercompany transactions,(ii)collection and withholding ontransactions with third parties,including as a result of evolving requirements imposed on marketplaces with respect to third-party sellers,and(iii)the adequacyof compliance with reporting obligations,including evolving documentation requirements.Due to the inherent complexity and uncertainty of these matters andthe judicial and regulatory processes in certain jurisdictions,the final outcome of any such controversies may be materially different from our expectations.Legal ProceedingsThe Company is involved from time to time in claims,proceedings,and litigation,including the matters described in Item 8 of Part II,“FinancialStatements and Supplementary Data Note 7 Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings”of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K,assupplemented by the following:In May 2018,Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and CF Dynamic Advances LLC filed a complaint against A,Inc.in the United States DistrictCourt for the Northern District of New York.The complaint alleged,among other things,that“Alexa Voice Software and Alexa enabled devices”infringe U.S.Patent No.7,177,798,entitled“Natural Language Interface

districtcourt granted summary judgment ruling that the patent is invalid and dismissed the case.In April 2024,the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal.We dispute theallegations of wrongdoing and will continue to defend ourselves vigorously in this matter.In December 2018,Kove IO,Inc.filed a complaint against Amazon Web Services,Inc.in the United States District Court for the Northern District ofIllinois.The complaint alleged,among other things,that Amazon S3 and DynamoDB infringe U.S.Patent Nos.7,814,170 and 7,103,640,each entitled“Network Distributed Tracking Wire Transfer Protocol”;and 7,233,978,entitled“Method and Apparatus for Managing Location Information in a NetworkSeparate from the Data to Which the Location Information Pertains.”The complaint sought an unspecified amount of damages,enhanced damages,attorneysfees,costs,interest,and injunctive relief.In April 2024,a jury found that Amazon infringed the asserted patents and awarded Kove$525 million in damages.We disagree with the jurys findings,intend to appeal the jury verdict,and will continue to defend ourselves vigorously in this matter.In addition,we are regularly subject to claims,litigation,and other proceedings,including potential regulatory proceedings,involving patent and otherintellectual property matters,taxes,labor and employment,competition and antitrust,privacy and data protection,consumer protection,commercial disputes,goods and services offered by us and by third parties,and other matters.The outcomes of our legal proceedings and other contingencies are inherently unpredictable,subject to significant uncertainties,and could be material toour operating results and cash flows for a particular period.We evaluate,on a regular basis,developments in our legal proceedings and other contingencies thatcould affect the amount of liability,including amounts in excess of any previous accruals and reasonably possible losses disclosed,and make adjustments andchanges to our accruals and disclosures as appropriate.For the matters we disclose that do not include an estimate of the amount of loss or range of losses,suchan estimate is not possible or is immaterial,and we may be unable to estimate the possible loss or range of losses that could potentially result from theapplication of non-monetary remedies.Until the final resolution of such matters,if any of our estimates and assumptions change or prove to have beenincorrect,we may experience losses in excess of the amounts recorded,which could have a material effect on our business,consolidated financial position,results of operations,or cash flows.See also“Note 7 Income Taxes.”Note 5 DEBTAs of March 31,2024,we had$66.5 billion of unsecured senior notes

part at specifiedredemption prices.We are not subject to any financial covenants under the Notes.The estimated fair value of the Notes was approximately$60.6 billion and$59.4 billion as of December 31,2023 and March 31,2024,which is based on quoted prices for our debt as of those dates.We have a$352 million secured revolving credit facility with a lender that is secured by certain seller receivables,which we decreased from$1.5 billionto$352 million in March 2024 and we may from time to time increase in the future subject to lender approval(the“Credit Facility”).The Credit Facility isavailable until August 2025,bears interest based on the daily Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 1.25%,and has a commitment fee of up to 0.45%on theundrawn portion.There were$682 million and$352 million of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility as of December 31,2023 and March 31,2024,which had an interest rate of 6.6%.We reclassified all of the$352 million outstanding as of March

inputs,approximated its carrying value as of December 31,2023 and March 31,2024.In January 2023,we entered into an$8.0 billion unsecured 364-day term loan with a syndicate of lenders(the“Term Loan”),maturing in January 2024and bearing interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate specified in the Term Loan plus 0.75%.The Term Loan was classified as short-term debt andincluded

individual maturities that may vary but will not exceed397 days from the date of issue.There were no borrowings outstanding under the Commercial Paper Programs as of December 31,2023 and March 31,2024.We use the net proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper for general corporate purposes.We have a$15.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders(the“Credit Agreement”),with a term that extends to November2028 and may be extended for one or more additional one-year terms if approved by the lenders.The interest rate applicable to outstanding balances under theCredit Agreement is the applicable benchmark rate specified in the Credit Agreement plus 0.45%,with a commitment fee of 0.03%on the undrawn portion ofthe credit facility.There were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of December 31,2023 and March 31,2024.We have a$5.0 billion unsecured 364-day revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders(the“Short-Term Credit

ending stockholders equity$154,526$216,661 Note 7 INCOME TAXESOur tax provision or benefit from income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate,adjusted for discreteitems,if any,that are taken into account in the relevant period.Each quarter we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate,and if our estimated tax ratechanges,we make a cumulative adjustment.Our quarterly tax provision,and our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate,is subject to significant variation due to several factors,includingvariability in accurately predicting our pre-tax and taxable income and loss and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate,intercompany transactions,theapplicability of special tax regimes,changes in how we do business,acquisitions,investments,developments in tax controversies,changes in our stock price,changes in our deferred tax assets and liabilities and their valuation,foreign currency gains(losses),changes in statutes,regulations,case law,andadministrative practices,principles,and interpretations related to tax,including changes to the global tax framework,competition,and other laws andaccounting rules in various jurisdictions,and relative changes of expenses or losses for which tax benefits are not recognized.Our effective tax rate can bemore or less volatile based on the amount of pre-tax income or loss.For example,the impact of discrete items and non-deductible expenses on our effective taxrate is greater when our pre-tax income is lower.In addition,we record valuation allowances against deferred tax assets when there is uncertainty about ourability to generate future income in relevant jurisdictions.For 2024,we estimate that our effective tax rate will be favorably impacted by the U.S.federal research and development credit and foreign incomededuction and adversely affected by state income taxes.In addition,valuation gains and losses from our equity investment in Rivian impact our pre-tax incomeand may cause variability in our effective tax rate.Our income tax provision for the three months ended March 31,2023 was$948 million,which included$48 million of net discrete tax expense.Ourincome tax provision for the three months ended March 31,2024 was$2.5 billion,which included$558 million of net discrete tax benefits.Cash paid for income taxes,net of refunds was$619 million and$458 million in Q1 2023 and Q1 2024.As of December 31,2023 and March 31,2024,income tax contingencies were approximately$5.2 billion and$5.5 billion.Changes in tax laws,regulations,administrative practices,principles,and interpretations may impact our tax contingencies.Due to various factors,including the inherentcomplexities and uncertainties of the judicial,administrative,and regulatory processes in certain jurisdictions,the timing of the resolution of income taxcontroversies is highly uncertain,and the amounts ultimately paid,if any,upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ from theamounts18Table of Contentsaccrued.It is reasonably possible that within the next twelve months we will receive additional assessments by various tax authorities or possibly reachresolution of income tax controversies in one or more jurisdictions.These assessments or settlements could result in changes to our contingencies related topositions on prior years tax filings.We are under examination,or may be subject to examination,by the Internal Revenue Service for the calendar year 2016 and thereafter.Theseexaminations may lead to ordinary course adjustments or proposed adjustments to our taxes or our net operating losses with respect to years under examinationas well as subsequent periods.We are also subject to taxation in various states and other foreign jurisdictions including China,France,Germany,India,Japan,Luxembourg,and theUnited Kingdom.We are under,or may be subject to,audit or examination and additional assessments by the relevant authorities in respect of these particularjurisdictions primarily for 2011 and thereafter.We are currently disputing tax assessments in multiple jurisdictions,including with respect to the allocation andcharacterization of income.In September 2022,the Luxembourg tax authority(“LTA”)denied the tax basis of certain intangible assets that we distributed from Luxembourg to theU.S.in 2021.When we are assessed by the LTA,we will need to remit taxes related to this matter.We believe the LTAs position is without merit,we intend todefend ourselves vigorously in this matter,and we expect to recoup taxes paid.The Indian tax authority(“ITA”)has asserted that tax applies to cloud services fees paid to Amazon in the U.S.We will need to remit taxes related to thismatter until it is resolved,which payments could be significant in the aggregate.We believe the ITAs position is without merit,we are defending our positionvigorously,and we expect to recoup taxes paid.If this matter is adversely resolved,we could recognize significant additional tax expense,including for taxespreviously paid.Note 8 SEGMENT INFORMATIONWe have organized our operations into three segments:North America,International,and AWS.We allocate to segment results the operating expenses“Fulfillment,”“Technology and infrastructure,”“Sales and marketing,”and“General and administrative”based on usage,which is generally reflected in thesegment in which the costs are incurred.The majority of technology costs recorded in“Technology and infrastructure”are incurred in the U.S.and are includedin our North America and AWS segments.The majority of infrastructure costs recorded in“Technology and infrastructure”are allocated to the AWS segmentbased on usage.There are no internal revenue transactions between our reportable segments.Our chief operating decision maker(“CODM”)regularly reviewsconsolidated net sales,consolidated operating expenses,and consolidated operating income(loss)by segment.Amounts included in consolidated operatingexpenses include“Cost of sales,”“Fulfillment,”“Technology and infrastructure,”“Sales and marketing,”“General and administrative,”and“Other operatingexpense(income),net.”Our CODM manages our business by reviewing annual forecasts and consolidated results by segment on a quarterly basis.North AmericaThe North America segment primarily consists of amounts earned from retail sales of consumer products(including from sellers)and advertising andsubscription services through North America-focused online and physical stores.This segment includes export sales from these online stores.InternationalThe International segment primarily consists of amounts earned from retail sales of consumer products(including from sellers)and advertising andsubscription services through internationally-focused online stores.This segment includes export sales from these internationally-focused online stores(including export sales from these online stores to customers in the U.S.,Mexico,and Canada),but excludes export sales from our North America-focusedonline stores.AWSThe AWS segment consists of amounts earned from global sales of compute,storage,database,and other services for start-ups,enterprises,governmentagencies,and academic institutions.19Table of

Results of OperationsForward-Looking StatementsThis Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.Allstatements other than statements of historical fact,including statements regarding guidance,industry prospects,or future results of operations or financialposition,made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking.We use words such as anticipates,believes,expects,future,intends,and similarexpressions to identify forward-looking statements.Forward-looking statements reflect managements current expectations and are inherently uncertain.Actualresults and outcomes could differ materially for a variety of reasons,including,among others,fluctuations in foreign exchange rates,changes in globaleconomic conditions and customer demand and spending,inflation,interest rates,regional labor market constraints,world events,the rate of growth of theinternet,online commerce,cloud services,and new and emerging technologies,the amount that A invests in new business opportunities and thetiming of those investments,the mix of products and services sold to

ofinventory management,variability in demand,the degree to which we enter into,maintain,and develop commercial agreements,proposed and completedacquisitions and strategic transactions,payments risks,and risks of fulfillment throughput and productivity.In addition,global economic and geopoliticalconditions and additional or unforeseen circumstances,developments,or events may give rise to or amplify many of these risks.These risks and uncertainties,as well as other risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results or outcomes to differ significantly from managements expectations,are described ingreater detail in Item 1A of Part II,“Risk Factors.”For additional information,see Item 7 of Part II,“Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Overview”of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.Critical Accounting EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets andliabilities,revenues and expenses,and related disclosures of contingent liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.Criticalaccounting estimates are those estimates made in accordance with GAAP that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or arereasonably likely to have a material impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.Based on this definition,we have identified thecritical accounting estimates addressed below.We also have other key accounting policies,which involve the use of estimates,judgments,and assumptions thatare significant to understanding our results.For additional information,see Item 8 of Part II,“Financial Statements and Supplementary Data Note 1 Description of Business,Accounting Policies,and Supplemental Disclosures”of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Item 1 of Part I,“FinancialStatements Note 1 Accounting Policies and Supplemental Disclosures,”of this Form 10-Q.Although we believe that our estimates,assumptions,andjudgments are reasonable,they are based upon information presently available.Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under differentassumptions,judgments,or conditions.InventoriesInventories,consisting of products available for sale,are primarily accounted for using the first-in first-out method,and are valued at the lower of costand net realizable value.This valuation requires us to make judgments,based on currently available information,about the likely method of disposition,suchas through sales to individual customers,returns to product vendors,or liquidations,and expected recoverable values of each disposition category.Theseassumptions about future disposition of inventory are inherently uncertain and changes in our estimates and assumptions may cause us to realize material write-downs in the future.As a measure of sensitivity,for every 1%of additional inventory valuation allowance as of March 31,2024,we would have recorded anadditional cost of sales of approximately$330 million.In addition,we enter into supplier commitments for certain electronic device components and certain products.These commitments are based onforecasted customer demand.If we reduce these commitments,we may incur additional costs.Income TaxesWe are subject to income taxes in the U.S.(federal and state)and numerous foreign jurisdictions.Tax laws,regulations,administrative practices,principles,and interpretations in various jurisdictions may be subject to significant change,with or without notice,due to economic,political,and otherconditions,and significant judgment is required in evaluating and estimating our provision and accruals for these taxes.There are many transactions that occurduring the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain.In addition,our actual and forecasted earnings are subject to22Table of Contentschange due to economic,political,and other conditions and significant judgment is required in determining our ability to use our deferred tax assets.Our effective tax rates could be affected by numerous factors,such as changes in our business operations,acquisitions,investments,entry into newbusinesses and geographies,intercompany transactions,the relative amount of our foreign earnings,including earnings being lower than anticipated injurisdictions where we have lower statutory rates and higher than anticipated in jurisdictions where we have higher statutory rates,losses incurred injurisdictions for which we are not able to realize related tax benefits,the applicability of special tax regimes,changes in foreign exchange rates,changes in ourstock price,changes to our forecasts of income and loss and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate,changes in our deferred tax assets and liabilities andtheir valuation,changes in the laws,regulations,administrative practices,principles,and interpretations related to tax,including changes to the global taxframework,competition,and other laws and accounting rules in various jurisdictions.In addition,a number of countries have enacted or are actively pursuingchanges to their tax laws applicable to corporate multinationals.We are also currently subject to tax controversies in various jurisdictions,and these jurisdictions may assess additional income tax liabilities against us.Developments in an audit,investigation,or other tax controversy could have a material effect on our operating results or cash flows in the period or periods forwhich that development occurs,as well as for prior and subsequent periods.We regularly assess the likelihood of an adverse outcome resulting from theseproceedings to determine the adequacy of our tax accruals.Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable,the final outcome of audits,investigations,and any other tax controversies could be materially different from our historical income tax provisions and accruals.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesCash flow information is as follows(in millions):Three Months

value,were$86.8 billion and$85.1 billion as of December 31,2023 and March 31,2024.Amounts held in foreign currencies were$23.5 billion and$16.7billion as of December 31,2023 and March 31,2024.Our foreign currency balances include British Pounds,Canadian Dollars,Euros,Indian Rupees,andJapanese Yen.Cash provided by(used in)operating activities was$4.8 billion and$19.0 billion for Q1 2023 and Q1 2024.Our operating cash flows result primarilyfrom cash received from our consumer,seller,developer,enterprise,and content creator customers,and advertisers,offset by cash payments we make forproducts and services,employee compensation,payment processing and related transaction costs,operating leases,and interest payments.Cash received fromour customers and other activities generally corresponds to our net sales.The increase in operating cash flow for the trailing twelve months ended March 31,2024,compared to the comparable prior year period,was due to an increase in net income,excluding non-cash expenses,and changes in working capital.Working capital at any specific point in time is subject to many variables,including variability in demand,inventory management and category expansion,thetiming of cash receipts and payments,customer and vendor payment terms,and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.Cash provided by(used in)investing activities corresponds with cash capital expenditures,including leasehold improvements,incentives received fromproperty and equipment vendors,proceeds from asset sales,cash outlays for acquisitions,investments in other companies and intellectual property rights,andpurchases,sales,and maturities of marketable securities.Cash provided by(used in)investing activities was$(15.8)billion and$(17.9)billion for Q1 2023 andQ1 2024,with the variability caused primarily by purchases,sales,and maturities of marketable securities and cash capital expenditures.Cash capitalexpenditures were$13.1 billion and$13.9 billion during Q1 2023 and Q1 2024,which primarily reflect investments in technology infrastructure(the majorityof which is to support AWS business growth)and in additional capacity to support our fulfillment network.We expect cash capital expenditures tomeaningfully increase in 2024,primarily driven by investments in technology infrastructure.We made cash payments,net of acquired cash,related toacquisition and other investment activity of$3.5 billion and$3.4 billion during Q1 2023 and Q1 2024.We funded the acquisition of 1Life Healthcare,Inc.(One Medical)in 2023 with cash on hand.In Q3 2023,we invested$1.25

2023 and Q1 2024.Property and equipment acquired under finance leases was$8 million and$42 million during Q1 2023 and Q1 2024.We had no borrowings outstanding under the two unsecured revolving credit facilities or the commercial paper programs,and we had$352 million ofborrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility as of March 31,2024.See Item 1 of Part I,“Financial Statements Note 5 Debt”for additionalinformation.Certain foreign subsidiary earnings and losses are subject to current U.S.taxation and the subsequent repatriation of those earnings is not subject to tax inthe U.S.We intend to invest substantially all of our foreign subsidiary earnings,as well as our capital in our foreign subsidiaries,indefinitely outside of theU.S.in those jurisdictions in which we would incur significant,additional costs upon repatriation of such amounts.Our U.S.taxable income is reduced by accelerated depreciation deductions and increased by the impact of capitalized research and developmentexpenses.U.S.tax rules provide for enhanced accelerated depreciation deductions by allowing us to expense a portion of qualified property,primarilyequipment.These enhanced deductions are scheduled to phase out annually from 2023 through 2026.Additionally,effective January 1,2022,research anddevelopment expenses are required to be capitalized and amortized for U.S.tax purposes,which delays the deductibility of these expenses.Cash paid for U.S.(federal and state)and foreign income taxes(net of refunds)totaled$619 million and$458 million for Q1 2023 and Q1 2024.As of December 31,2023 and March 31,2024,restricted cash,cash equivalents,and marketable securities were$503 million and$480 million.SeeItem 1 of Part I,“Financial Statements Note 4 Commitments and Contingencies”and“Financial Statements Note 5 Debt”for additional discussionof our principal contractual commitments,as well as our pledged assets.Additionally,we have purchase obligations and open purchase orders,including forinventory and capital expenditures,that support normal operations and are primarily due in the next twelve months.These purchase obligations and openpurchase orders are generally cancellable in full or in part through the contractual provisions.We believe that cash flows generated from operations and our cash,cash equivalents,and marketable securities balances,as well as our borrowingarrangements,will be sufficient to meet our anticipated operating cash needs for at least the next twelve months.However,any projections of future cash needsand cash flows are subject to substantial uncertainty.See Item 1A of Part II,“Risk Factors.”We continually evaluate opportunities to sell additional equity ordebt securities,obtain credit facilities,obtain finance and operating lease arrangements,enter into financing obligations,repurchase common stock,paydividends,or repurchase,refinance,or otherwise restructure our debt for strategic reasons or to further strengthen our financial position.The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities would be dilutive to our shareholders.In addition,we will,from time to time,consider theacquisition of,or investment in,complementary businesses,products,services,capital infrastructure,and technologies,which might affect our liquidityrequirements or cause us to secure additional financing,or issue additional equity or debt securities.There can be no assurance that additional credit lines orfinancing instruments will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us,if at all.In addition,economic conditions and actions by policymaking bodiesare contributing to changing interest rates and significant capital market volatility,which,along with any increases in our borrowing levels,could increase ourfuture borrowing costs.24Table of ContentsResults of OperationsWe have organized our operations into three segments:North America,International,and AWS.These segments reflect the way the Company evaluatesits business performance and manages its operations.See Item 1 of Part I,“Financial Statements Note 8 Segment Information.”OverviewMacroeconomic factors,including inflation,increased interest rates,significant capital market and supply chain volatility,and global economic andgeopolitical developments,have direct and indirect impacts on our results of operations that are difficult to isolate and quantify.In addition,changes in fuel,utility,and food costs,interest rates,and economic outlook may impact customer demand and our ability to forecast consumer spending patterns.We expectsome or all of these factors to continue to impact our operations into Q2 2024.Net SalesNet sales include product and service sales.Product sales represent revenue from the sale of products and related shipping fees and digital media contentwhere we record revenue gross.Service sales primarily represent third-party seller fees,which includes commissions and any related fulfillment and shippingfees,AWS sales,advertising services,Amazon Prime membership fees,and certain digital media content subscriptions.Net sales information is as follows(inmillions):Three Months

forQ1 2024.For a discussion of the effect of foreign exchange rates on sales growth,see“Effect of Foreign Exchange Rates”below.North America sales increased 12%in Q1 2024 compared to the comparable prior year period.The sales growth primarily reflects increased unit sales,including sales by third-party sellers,advertising sales,and subscription services.Increased unit sales were driven largely by our continued focus on price,selection,and convenience for our customers,including from our fast shipping offers.International sales increased 10%in Q1 2024 compared to the comparable prior year period.The sales growth primarily reflects increased unit sales,including sales by third-party sellers,advertising sales,and subscription services.Increased unit sales25Table of Contentswere driven largely by our continued focus on price,selection,and convenience for our customers,including from our fast shipping offers.Changes in foreignexchange rates reduced International net sales by$248 million for Q1 2024.AWS sales increased 17%in Q1 2024 compared to the comparable prior year period.The sales growth primarily reflects increased customer usage,partially offset by pricing changes primarily driven by long-term customer contracts.Operating Income(Loss)Operating income(loss)by segment is as follows(in millions):Three Months EndedMarch 31,20232024Operating Income(Loss)North America$898$4,983 International(1,247)903 AWS5,123 9,421 Consolidated$4,774$15,307 Operating income increased from$4.8 billion in Q1 2023 to$15.3 billion in Q1 2024.We believe that operating income is a more meaningful measurethan gross profit and gross margin due to the diversity of our product categories and services.The increase in North America operating income in Q1 2024,compared to the comparable prior year period,is primarily due to increased unit sales andincreased advertising sales,partially offset by increased shipping and fulfillment costs and increased technology and infrastructure costs.The International operating income in Q1 2024,as compared to the operating loss in the comparable prior year period,is primarily due to increased unitsales and increased advertising sales,partially offset by increased shipping and fulfillment costs.Changes in foreign exchange rates did not significantly impactoperating income for Q1 2024.The increase in AWS operating income in Q1 2024,compared to the comparable prior year period,is primarily due to increased sales,decreased payrolland related expenses,and a reduction in depreciation and amortization expense from our change in the estimated useful lives of our servers,partially offset byspending on technology infrastructure that was primarily driven by additional investments to support AWS business growth.Changes in foreign exchange ratespositively impacted operating income by$67 million for Q1 2024.26Table of ContentsOperating ExpensesInformation about operating expenses is as follows(in

consumer products,inbound and outbound shipping costs,including costs related to sortation anddelivery centers and where we are the transportation service provider,and digital media content costs where we record revenue gross,including video andmusic.The increase in cost of sales in Q1 2024,compared to the comparable prior year period,is primarily due to increased product and shipping costs resultingfrom increased sales,partially offset by fulfillment network efficiencies,including lower transportation costs.Changes in foreign exchange rates reduced costof sales by$190 million for Q1 2024.Shipping costs were$19.9 billion and$21.8 billion in Q1 2023 and Q1 2024.Shipping costs to receive products from our suppliers are included in ourinventory and recognized as cost of sales upon sale of products to our customers.We expect our cost of shipping to continue to increase to the extent ourcustomers accept and use our shipping offers at an increasing rate,we use more expensive shipping methods,and we offer additional services.We seek tomitigate costs of shipping over time in part through achieving higher sales volumes,optimizing our fulfillment network,negotiating better terms with oursuppliers,and achieving better operating efficiencies.We believe that offering low prices to our customers is fundamental to our future success,and one waywe offer lower prices is through shipping offers.Costs to operate our AWS segment are primarily classified as“Technology and infrastructure”as we leverage a shared infrastructure that supports bothour internal technology requirements and external sales to AWS customers.FulfillmentFulfillment costs primarily consist of those costs incurred in operating and staffing our North America and International fulfillment centers,physicalstores,and customer service centers and payment processing costs.While AWS payment processing and related transaction costs are included in“Fulfillment,”AWS costs are primarily classified as“Technology and infrastructure.”Fulfillment costs as a percentage of net sales may vary due to several factors,such aspayment processing and related transaction27Table of Contentscosts,our level of productivity and accuracy,changes in volume,size,and weight of units received and fulfilled,the extent to which third-party sellers utilizeFulfillment by Amazon services,timing of fulfillment network and physical store expansion,the extent we utilize fulfillment services provided by third parties,mix of products and services sold,and our ability to affect customer service contacts per unit by implementing improvements in our operations andenhancements to our customer self-service features.Additionally,sales by our sellers have higher payment processing and related transaction costs as apercentage of net sales compared to our retail sales because payment processing costs are based on the gross purchase price of underlying transactions.The increase in fulfillment costs in Q1 2024,compared to the comparable prior year period,is primarily due to increased sales and investments in ourfulfillment network,partially offset by fulfillment network efficiencies.Changes in foreign exchange rates increased fulfillment costs by$14 million for Q12024.We seek to expand our fulfillment network to accommodate a greater selection and in-stock inventory levels and to meet anticipated shipment volumesfrom sales of our own products as well as sales by third parties for which we provide the fulfillment services.We regularly evaluate our facility requirements.Technology and InfrastructureTechnology and infrastructure costs include payroll and related expenses for employees involved in the research and development of new and existingproducts and services,development,design,and maintenance of our stores,curation and display of products and services made available in our online stores,and infrastructure costs.Infrastructure costs include servers,networking equipment,and data center related depreciation and amortization,rent,utilities,andother expenses necessary to support AWS and other Amazon businesses.Collectively,these costs reflect the investments we make in order to offer a widevariety of products and services to our customers,including expenditures related to initiatives to build and deploy innovative and efficient software andelectronic devices and the development of a satellite network for global broadband service and autonomous vehicles for ride-hailing services.We seek to invest efficiently in numerous areas of technology and infrastructure so we may continue to enhance the customer experience and improveour process efficiency through rapid technology developments,while operating at an ever increasing scale.Our technology and infrastructure investment andcapital spending projects often support a variety of product and service offerings due to geographic expansion and the cross-functionality of our systems andoperations.We expect spending in technology and infrastructure to increase over time as we continue to add employees and infrastructure.These costs areallocated to segments based on usage.The decrease in technology and infrastructure costs in Q1 2024,compared to the comparable prior year period,isprimarily due to a reduction in depreciation and amortization expense from our change in the estimated useful life of our servers and decreased payroll andrelated costs associated with technical teams responsible for expanding our existing products and services and initiatives to introduce new products and serviceofferings,partially offset by an increase in spending on infrastructure.See Item 7 of Part II,“Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditionand Results of Operations Overview”of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of how management views advances in technology and theimportance of innovation.Sales and MarketingSales and marketing costs include advertising and payroll and related expenses for personnel engaged in marketing and selling activities,including salescommissions related to AWS.We direct customers to our stores primarily through a number of marketing channels,such as our sponsored search,third-partycustomer referrals,social and online advertising,television advertising,and other initiatives.Our marketing costs are largely variable,based on growth in salesand changes in rates.To the extent there is increased or decreased competition for these traffic sources,or to the extent our mix of these channels shifts,wewould expect to see a corresponding change in our marketing costs.The decrease in sales and marketing costs in Q1 2024,compared to the comparable prior year period,is primarily due to decreased payroll and relatedexpenses for personnel engaged in marketing and selling activities,and decreased advertising expenses.While costs associated with Amazon Prime membership benefits and other shipping offers are not included in sales and marketing expense,we viewthese offers as effective worldwide marketing tools,and intend to continue offering them indefinitely.General and AdministrativeThe decrease in general and administrative costs in Q1 2024,compared to the comparable prior year period,is primarily due to a decrease in payroll andrelated expenses.28Table of ContentsOther Operating Expense(Income),NetOther operating expense(income),net was$223 million and$228 million for Q1 2023 and Q1 2024,and was primarily related to asset impairments andthe amortization of intangible assets.Interest Income and ExpenseOur interest income was$611 million and$993 million during Q1 2023 and Q1 2024,primarily due to an increase in prevailing rates.We generallyinvest our excess cash in AAA-rated money market funds and investment grade short-to intermediate-term marketable debt securities.Our interest incomecorresponds with the average balance of invested funds based on the prevailing rates,which vary depending on the geographies and currencies in which theyare invested.Interest expense was$823 million and$644 million during Q1 2023 and Q1 2024,and was primarily related to debt and finance leases.See Item 1 ofPart I,“Financial Statements Note 3 Leases and Note 5 Debt”for additional information.Other Income(Expense),NetOther income(expense),net was$(443)million and$(2.7)billion during Q1 2023 and Q1 2024.The primary components of other income(expense),netare related to equity securities valuations and adjustments,equity warrant valuations,and foreign currency.Included in other income(expense),net is amarketable equity securities valuation gain(loss)of$(467)million and$(2.0)billion in Q1 2023 and Q1 2024,from our equity investment in Rivian.Income TaxesOur income tax provision for the three months ended March 31,2023 was$948 million,which included$48 million of net discrete tax expense.Ourincome tax provision for the three months ended March 31,2024 was$2.5 billion,which included$558 million of net discrete tax benefits.See Item 1 of PartI,“Financial Statements Note 7 Income Taxes”for additional information.Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresRegulation G,Conditions for Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures,and other SEC regulations define and prescribe the conditions for use of certainnon-GAAP financial information.Our measures of free cash flows and the effect of foreign exchange rates on our consolidated statements of operations meetthe definition of non-GAAP financial measures.We provide multiple measures of free cash flows because we believe these measures provide additional perspective on the impact of acquiring propertyand equipment with cash and through finance leases and financing obligations.Free Cash FlowFree cash flow is cash flow from operations reduced by“Purchases of property and equipment,net of proceeds from sales and incentives.”The followingis a reconciliation of free cash flow to the most comparable GAAP cash flow measure,“Net cash provided by(used in)operating activities,”for the trailingtwelve months ended March 31,2023 and 2024(in millions):Twelve Months

leases”of$6,544million and$3,774 million.30Table of ContentsAll of these free cash flows measures have limitations as they omit certain components of the overall cash flow statement and do not represent theresidual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures.For example,these measures of free cash flows do not incorporate the portion of paymentsrepresenting principal reductions of debt or cash payments for business acquisitions.Additionally,our mix of property and equipment acquisitions with cash orother financing options may change over time.Therefore,we believe it is important to view free cash flows measures only as a complement to our entireconsolidated statements of cash flows.Effect of Foreign Exchange RatesInformation regarding the effect of foreign exchange rates,versus the U.S.Dollar,on our net sales,operating expenses,and operating income is providedto show reported period operating results had the foreign exchange rates remained the same as those in

below.These forward-looking statements reflectAs expectations as of April 30,2024,and are subject to substantial uncertainty.Our results are inherently unpredictable and may be materiallyaffected by many factors,such as fluctuations in foreign exchange rates,changes in global economic and geopolitical conditions and customer demand andspending(including the impact of recessionary fears),inflation,interest rates,regional labor market constraints,world events,the rate of growth of the internet,online commerce,cloud services,and new and emerging technologies,as well as those outlined in Item 1A of Part II,“Risk Factors.”Second Quarter 2024 GuidanceNet sales are expected to be between$144.0 billion and$149.0 billion,or to grow between 7%and 11%compared with second quarter 2023.Thisguidance anticipates an unfavorable impact of approximately 60 basis points from foreign exchange rates.In first quarter 2024 the impact from LeapYear added approximately 120 basis points to the year-over-year net sales growth rate.Operating income is expected to be between$10.0 billion and$14.0 billion,compared with$7.7 billion in second quarter 2023.This guidance assumes,among other things,that no additional business acquisitions,restructurings,or legal settlements are concluded.32Table of ContentsItem 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market RiskWe are exposed to market risk for the effect of interest rate changes,foreign currency fluctuations,and changes in the market values of our investments.Information relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk is set forth below and in Item 2 of Part I,“Managements Discussion andAnalysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources.”Interest Rate RiskOur exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio and our debt.Our long-term debt is carried atamortized cost and fluctuations in interest rates do not impact our consolidated financial statements.However,the fair value of our long-term debt,which paysinterest at a fixed rate,will generally fluctuate with movements of interest rates,increasing in periods of declining rates of interest and declining in periods ofincreasing rates of interest.We generally invest our excess cash in AAA-rated money market funds and investment grade short-to intermediate-termmarketable debt securities.Marketable debt securities with fixed interest rates may have their fair market value adversely affected due to a rise in interest rates,and we may suffer losses in principal if forced to sell securities that have declined in market value due to changes in interest rates.Foreign Exchange RiskDuring Q1 2024,net sales from our International segment accounted for 22%of our consolidated revenues.Net sales and related expenses generatedfrom our internationally-focused stores,including within Canada and Mexico(which are included in our North America segment),are primarily denominatedin the functional currencies of the corresponding stores and primarily include Euros,British Pounds,and Japanese Yen.The results of operations of,and certainof our intercompany balances associated with,our internationally-focused stores and AWS are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations.Uponconsolidation,as foreign exchange rates vary,net sales and other operating results may differ materially from expectations,and we may record significant gainsor losses on the remeasurement of intercompany balances.For example,as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates throughout the period compared torates in effect the prior year,International segment net sales in Q1 2024 decreased by$248 million in comparison with Q1 2023.We have foreign exchange risk related to foreign-denominated cash,cash equivalents,and marketable securities(“foreign funds”).Based on the balanceof foreign funds as of March 31,2024,of$16.7 billion,an assumed 5%,10%,and 20verse change to foreign exchange would result in declines of$835million,$1.7 billion,and$3.3 billion.We also have foreign exchange risk related to our intercompany balances denominated in various currencies.Based on the intercompany balances as ofMarch 31,2024,an assumed 5%,10%,and 20verse change to foreign exchange rates would result in losses of$280 million,$560 million,and$1.1billion,recorded to“Other income(expense),net.”See Item 2 of Part I,“Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations Effect ofForeign Exchange Rates”for additional information on the effect on reported results of changes in foreign exchange rates.Equity Investment RiskAs of March 31,2024,our recorded value in equity,equity warrant,and convertible debt investments in public and private companies was$10.7 billion.Our equity and equity warrant investments in publicly traded companies,which include our equity investment in Rivian,represent$3.4 billion of ourinvestments as of March 31,2024,and are recorded at fair value,which is subject to market price volatility.We record our equity warrant investments inprivate companies at fair value and adjust our equity investments in private companies for observable price changes or impairments.Valuations of privatecompanies are inherently more complex due to the lack of readily available market data.The current global economic conditions provide additional uncertainty.As such,we believe that market sensitivities are not practicable.33Table of ContentsItem 4.Controls and ProceduresWe carried out an evaluation required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934(the“1934 Act”),under the supervision and with the participation of ourprincipal executive officer and principal financial officer,of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures,as definedin Rule 13a-15(e)of the 1934 Act,as of the end of the period covered by this report.Based on this evaluation,our principal executive officer and principalfinancial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosedby us in the reports that we file or submit under the 1934 Act is recorded,processed,summarized,and reported within the time periods specified in the SECsrules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management,including our principalexecutive officer and principal financial officer,as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.During the most recent fiscal quarter,there has not occurred any change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected,or isreasonably likely to materially affect,our internal control over financial reporting.Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives as specified above.Management doesnot expect,however,that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all error and fraud.Any control system,no matter how well designedand operated,is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable,not absolute,assurance that its objectives will be met.Further,no evaluationof controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud,if any,withinthe Company have been detected.34Table of ContentsPART II.OTHER INFORMATIONItem 1.Legal ProceedingsSee Item 1 of Part I,“Financial Statements Note 4 Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings.”Item 1A.Risk FactorsPlease carefully consider the following discussion of significant factors,events,and uncertainties that make an investment in our securities risky.Theevents and consequences discussed in these risk factors could,in circumstances we may or may not be able to accurately predict,recognize,or control,have amaterial adverse effect on our business,growth,reputation,prospects,financial condition,operating results(including components of our financial results),cash flows,liquidity,and stock price.These risk factors do not identify all risks that we face;our operations could also be affected by factors,events,oruncertainties that are not presently known to us or that we currently do not consider to present significant risks to our operations.In addition to the factorsdiscussed in Item 2 of Part I,“Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,”and in the risk factors below,globaleconomic and geopolitical conditions and additional or unforeseen circumstances,developments,or events may give rise to or amplify many of the risksdiscussed below.Many of the risks discussed below also impact our customers,including third-party sellers,which could indirectly have a material adverseeffect on us.Business and Industry RisksWe Face Intense CompetitionOur businesses are rapidly evolving and intensely competitive,and we have many competitors across geographies,including cross-border competition,and in different industries,including physical,e-commerce,and omnichannel retail,e-commerce services,web and infrastructure computing services,electronic devices,digital content,advertising,grocery,and transportation and logistics services.Some of our current and potential competitors have greaterresources,longer histories,more customers,and/or greater brand recognition,particularly with our newly-launched products and services and in our newergeographic regions.They may secure better terms from vendors,adopt more aggressive pricing,and devote more resources to technology,infrastructure,fulfillment,and marketing.Competition continues to intensify,including with the development of new business models and the entry of new and well-funded competitors,and asour competitors enter into business combinations or alliances and established companies in other market segments expand to become competitive with ourbusiness.In addition,new and enhanced technologies,including search,web and infrastructure computing services,practical applications of artificialintelligence and machine learning,digital content,and electronic devices continue to increase our competition.The internet facilitates competitive entry andcomparison shopping,which enhances the ability of new,smaller,or lesser known businesses to compete against us.As a result of competition,our product andservice offerings may not be successful,we may fail to gain or may lose business,and we may be required to increase our spending or lower prices,any ofwhich could materially reduce our sales and profits.Our Expansion into New Products,Services,Technologies,and Geographic Regions Subjects Us to Additional RisksWe may have limited or no experience in our newer market segments,and our customers may not adopt our product or service offerings.These offerings,which ca

consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Apple Inc.and its wholly owned subsidiaries(collectively“Apple”or the“Company”).In the opinion of the Companys management,the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments,which are normal and recurring in nature,necessary for fair financial statement presentation.The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S.generally accepted accounting principles(“GAAP”)requires the use of management estimates.These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Companys annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September30,2023(the“2023 Form 10-K”).The Companys fiscal year is the 52-or 53-week period that ends on the last Saturday of September.An additional week is included in the first

and 53 weeks,respectively.Unless otherwise stated,references to particular years,quarters,months and periods refer to the Companys fiscal years ended in September and the associated quarters,months

with high credit ratings,are based on quoted market prices or model-driven valuations using significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.(2)As of March 30,2024 and September 30,2023,total marketable securities included$14.0 billion and$13.8 billion,respectively,that were restricted from general use,related to the European Commission decision finding that Ireland

millions):Due after 1 year through 5 years$67,987 Due after 5 years through 10 years 9,108 Due after 10 years 18,092 Total fair value$95,187 Derivative Instruments and HedgingThe Company may use derivative instruments to partially offset its business exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate risk.However,the Company may choose not to hedge certain exposures for a variety of reasons,including accounting considerations or the prohibitive economic cost of hedging particular exposures.There can be no assurance the hedges will offset more than a portion of the financial impact resulting from movements in foreign exchange or interest rates.Foreign Exchange Rate RiskTo protect gross margins from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates,the Company may use forwards,options or other instruments,and may designate these instruments as cash flow hedges.The Company generally hedges portions of its forecasted foreign currency exposure associated with revenue and inventory purchases,typically for up to 12 months.To protect the Companys foreign currencydenominated term debt or marketable securities from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates,the Company may use forwards,cross-currency swaps or other instruments.The Company designates these instruments as either cash flow or fair value hedges.As of March30,2024,the maximum length of time over which the Company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for term debtrelated foreign currency transactions is 18 years.The Company may also use derivative instruments that are not designated as accounting hedges to protect gross margins from certain fluctuations in foreign exchange rates,as well as to offset a portion of the foreign currency gains and losses generated by the remeasurement of certain assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies.Apple Inc.|Q2 2024 Form 10-Q|8Interest Rate RiskTo protect the Companys term debt or marketable securities from fluctuations in interest rates,the Company may use interest rate swaps,options or other instruments.The Company designates these instruments as either cash flow or fair value hedges.The notional

cellular network carriers accounted for 34%and 41%of total trade receivables as of March30,2024 and September30,2023,respectively.The Company requires third-party credit support or collateral from certain customers to limit credit risk.Vendor Non-Trade ReceivablesThe Company has non-trade receivables from certain of its manufacturing vendors resulting from the sale of components to these vendors who manufacture subassemblies or assemble final products for the Company.The Company purchases these components directly from suppliers.The Company does not reflect the sale of these components in products net sales.Rather,the Company recognizes any gain on these sales as a reduction of products cost of sales when the related final products are sold by the Company.As of March30,2024,the Company had two vendors that individually represented 10%or more of total vendor non-trade receivables,which accounted for 47%and 19%.As of September30,2023,the Company had two

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsThis Item and other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q(“Form 10-Q”)contain forward-looking statements,within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995,that involve risks and uncertainties.Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact.For example,statements in this Form 10-Q regarding the potential future impact of macroeconomic conditions on the Companys business and results of operations are forward-looking statements.Forward-looking statements can also be identified by words such as“future,”“anticipates,”“believes,”“estimates,”“expects,”“intends,”“plans,”“predicts,”“will,”“would,”“could,”“can,”“may,”and similar terms.Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and the Companys actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.Factors that might cause such differences include,but are not limited to,those discussed in Part I,Item 1A of the 2023 Form 10-K under the heading“Risk Factors.”The Company assumes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason,except as required by law.Unless otherwise stated,all information presented herein is based on the Companys fiscal calendar,and references to particular years,quarters,months or periods refer to the Companys fiscal years ended in September and the associated quarters,months and periods of those fiscal years.The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the 2023 Form 10-K filed with the U.S.Securities and Exchange Commission(the“SEC”)and the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Part I,Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.Available InformationThe Company periodically provides certain information for investors on its corporate website,and its investor relations website,.This includes press releases and other information about financial performance,information on environmental,social and governance matters,and details related to the Companys annual meeting of shareholders.The information contained on the websites referenced in this Form 10-Q is not incorporated by reference into this filing.Further,the Companys references to website URLs are intended to be inactive textual references only.Business Seasonality and Product IntroductionsThe Company has historically experienced higher net sales in its first quarter compared to other quarters in its fiscal year due in part to seasonal holiday demand.Additionally,new product and service introductions can significantly impact net sales,cost of sales and operating expenses.The timing of product introductions can also impact the Companys net sales to its indirect distribution channels as these channels are filled with new inventory following a product launch,and channel inventory of an older product often declines as the launch of a newer product approaches.Net sales can also be affected when consumers and distributors anticipate a product introduction.During the second quarter of 2024,the Company announced an updated MacBook Air 13-in.and MacBook Air 15-in.Fiscal PeriodThe Companys fiscal year is the 52-or 53-week period that ends on the last Saturday of September.An additional week is included in the first fiscal quarter every five or six years to realign the Companys fiscal quarters with calendar quarters,which occurred in the first quarter of 2023.The Companys fiscal years 2024 and 2023 span 52 and 53 weeks,respectively.Macroeconomic ConditionsMacroeconomic conditions,including inflation,interest rates and currency fluctuations,have directly and indirectly impacted,and could in the future materially impact,the Companys results of operations and financial condition.Apple Inc.|Q2 2024 Form 10-Q|13Segment Operating PerformanceThe following table shows net sales by reportable segment for

first six months of 2024 was lower than the statutory federal income tax rate due primarily to a lower effective tax rate on foreign earnings,the impact of the U.S.federal R&D credit,and tax benefits from share-based compensation,partially offset by state income taxes.The Companys effective tax rate for the second quarter and first six months of 2024 was higher compared to the same periods in 2023 due primarily to a higher effective tax rate on foreign earnings and a lower tax benefit from the U.S.federal R&D credit.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesThe Company believes its balances of cash,cash equivalents and unrestricted marketable securities,along with cash generated by ongoing operations and continued access to debt markets,will be sufficient to satisfy its cash requirements and capital return program over the next 12 months and beyond.The Companys contractual cash requirements have not changed materially since the 2023 Form 10-K,except for manufacturing purchase obligations.Manufacturing Purchase ObligationsThe Company utilizes several outsourcing partners to manufacture subassemblies for the Companys products and to perform final assembly and testing of finished products.The Company also obtains individual components for its products from a wide variety of individual suppliers.As of March30,2024,the Company had manufacturing purchase obligations of$34.2 billion,with$34.1 billion payable within 12 months.Capital Return ProgramIn addition to its contractual cash requirements,the Company has an authorized share repurchase program,under which the remaining availability was$30.1 billion as of March30,2024.On May2,2024,the Company announced the Board of Directors had authorized an additional program to repurchase up to$110 billion of the

dividend from$0.24 to$0.25 per share,beginning with the dividend to be paid during the third quarter of 2024.The Company intends to increase its dividend on an annual basis,subject to declaration by

2023-07 in its fourth quarter of 2025 using a retrospective transition method.Critical Accounting EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP and the Companys discussion and analysis of its financial condition and operating results require the Companys management to make judgments,assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported.Note 1,“Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I,Item 1 of this Form 10-Q and in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II,Item 8 of the 2023 Form 10-K describe the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements.There have been no material changes to the Companys critical accounting estimates since the 2023 Form 10-K.Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market RiskThere have been no material changes to the Companys market risk during the first six months of 2024.For a discussion of the Companys exposure to market risk,refer to the Companys market risk disclosures set forth in Part II,Item 7A,“Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk”of the 2023 Form 10-K.Item 4.Controls and ProceduresEvaluation of Disclosure Controls and ProceduresBased on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management,the Companys principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)and 15d-15(e)under the Exchange Act were effective as of March30,2024 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is(i)recorded,processed,summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and(ii)accumulated and communicated to the Companys management,including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer,as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.Changes in Internal Control over Financial ReportingThere were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2024,which were identified in connection with managements evaluation required by paragraph(d)of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act,that have materially affected,or are reasonably likely to materially affect,the Companys internal control over financial reporting.Apple Inc.|Q2 2024 Form 10-Q|18PART II OTHER INFORMATIONItem 1.Legal ProceedingsDigital Markets Act InvestigationsOn March 25,2024,the European Commission(the“Commission”)announced that it had opened two formal noncompliance investigations against the Company under the European Union(“EU”)Digital Markets Act(the“DMA”).The Commissions investigations concern(1)Article 5(4)of the DMA,which relates to how developers may communicate and promote offers to end users for apps distributed through the App Store as well as how developers may conclude contracts with those end users;and(2)Article 6(3)of the DMA,which relates to default settings,uninstallation of apps,and a web browser choice screen on iOS.If the Commission concludes that there has been a violation,it can issue a cease and desist order and may impose fines up to 10%of the Companys annual worldwide net sales.Although any decision by the Commission can be appealed to the General Court of the EU,the effectiveness of the Commissions order would apply immediately while the appeal is pending,unless a stay of the order is granted.The Company believes that it complies with the DMA and will continue to engage with the Commission as it conducts its investigations.Department of Justice LawsuitOn March 21,2024,the U.S.Department of Justice(the“DOJ”)and 16 state and district attorneys general filed a civil antitrust lawsuit in the U.S.District Court for the District of New Jersey against the Company alleging monopolization or attempted monopolization in the markets for“performance smartphones”and“smartphones”in violation of U.S.antitrust laws.The DOJ is seeking equitable relief to redress the alleged anticompetitive behavior.In addition,various civil litigation matters have been filed in state and federal courts in the U.S.alleging similar violations of U.S.antitrust laws and seeking monetary damages and other nonmonetary relief.The Company believes it has substantial defenses and intends to vigorously defend itself.Epic GamesEpic Games,Inc.(“Epic”)filed a lawsuit in the U.S.District Court for the Northern District of California(the“California District Court”)against the Company alleging violations of federal and state antitrust laws and Californias unfair competition law based upon the Companys operation of its App Store.The California District Court found that certain provisions of the Companys App Store Review Guidelines violate Californias unfair competition law and issued an injunction enjoining the Company from prohibiting developers from including in their apps external links that direct customers to purchasing mechanisms other than Apple in-app purchasing.The injunction applies to apps on the U.S.storefront of the iOS and iPadOS App Store.On January 16,2024,the Company implemented a plan to comply with the injunction and filed a statement of compliance with the California District Court.On March 13,2024,Epic filed a motion with the California District Court disputing the Companys compliance plan and seeking to enforce the injunction.The Company has filed an opposition to Epics motion.The Company believes it has substantial defenses and intends to vigorously defend itself.Other Legal ProceedingsThe Company is subject to other legal proceedings and claims that have not been fully resolved and that have arisen in the ordinary course of business.The Company settled certain matters during the second quarter of 2024 that did not individually or in the aggregate have a material impact on the Companys financial condition or operating results.The outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain.If one or more legal matters were resolved against the Company in a reporting period for amounts above managements expectations,the Companys financial condition and operating results for that reporting period could be materially adversely affected.Item 1A.Risk FactorsThe Companys business,reputation,results of operations,financial condition and stock price can be affected by a number of factors,whether currently known or unknown,including those described in Part I,Item 1A of the 2023 Form 10-K under the heading“Risk Factors.”When any one or more of these risks materialize from time to time,the Companys business,reputation,results of operations,financial condition and stock price can be materially and adversely affected.Except as set forth below,there have been no material changes to the Companys risk factors since the 2023 Form 10-K.The technology industry,including,in some instances,the Company,is subject to intense media,political and regulatory scrutiny,which exposes the Company to increasing regulation,government investigations,legal actions and penalties.From time to time,the Company has made changes to its App Store,including actions taken in response to litigation,competition,market conditions and legal and regulatory requirements.The Company expects to make further business changes in the future.For example,in the U.S.the Company has implemented changes to how developers communicate with consumers within apps on the U.S.storefront of the iOS and iPadOS App Store regarding alternative purchasing mechanisms.Apple Inc.|Q2 2024 Form 10-Q|19In January 2024,the Company announced changes to iOS,the App Store and Safari in the EU to comply with the DMA,including new business terms and alternative fee structures for iOS apps,alternative methods of distribution for iOS apps,alternative payment processing for apps across the Companys operating systems,and additional tools and application programming interfaces(“APIs”)for developers.Although the Companys compliance plan is intended to address the DMAs obligations,it has been challenged by the Commission and may be challenged further by private litigants.In addition,other jurisdictions may seek to require the Company to make changes to its business.While the changes introduced by the Company in the EU are intended to reduce new privacy and security risks the DMA poses to EU users,many risks will remain.The Company is also currently subject to antitrust investigations and litigation in various jurisdictions around the world,which can result in legal proceedings and claims against the Company that could,individually or in the aggregate,have a materially adverse impact on the Companys business,results of operations and financial condition.For example,the Company is subject to civil antitrust lawsuits in the U.S.alleging monopolization or attempted monopolization in the markets for“performance smartphones”and“smartphones”generally in violation of U.S.antitrust laws.In addition,the Company is the subject of investigations in Europe and other jurisdictions relating to App Store terms and conditions.If such investigations or litigation are resolved against the Company,the Company can be exposed to significant fines and may be required to make further changes to its business practices,all of which could materially adversely affect the Companys business,reputation,results of operations and financial condition.Further,the Company has commercial relationships with other companies in the technology industry that are or may become subject to investigations and litigation that,if resolved against those other companies,could materially adversely affect the Companys commercial relationships with those business partners and materially adversely affect the Companys business,results of operations and financial condition.For example,the Company earns revenue from licensing arrangements with other companies to offer their search services on the Companys platforms and applications,and certain of these arrangements are currently subject to government investigations and legal proceedings.There can be no assurance the Companys business will not be materially adversely affected,individually or in the aggregate,by the outcomes of such investigations,litigation or changes to laws and regulations in the future.Changes to the Companys business practices to comply with new laws and regulations or in connection with other legal proceedings can negatively impact the reputation of the Companys products for privacy and security and otherwise adversely affect the experience for users of the Companys products and services,and result in harm to the Companys reputation,loss of competitive advantage,poor market acceptance,reduced demand for products and services,and lost sales.Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

the arson attack at Gigafactory Berlin,to the gradual ramp of the updated Model 3 in Fremont.Excluding Cybertruck and unscheduled downtime,our COGS4 per unit declined sequentially,driven primarily by lower raw material costs.Global EV sales continue to be under pressure as many carmakers prioritize hybrids over EVs.While positive for our regulatory credits business,we prefer the industry to continue pushing EV adoption,which is in-line with our mission.To support our growth,we have been increasing awareness and expanding vehicle financing programs,including attractive leasing terms for our customers.While many are pulling back on their investments,we are investing in future growth including our AI infrastructure,production capacity,our Supercharger and service networks and new products infrastructure with$2.8B of capital expenditures in Q1.We recently undertook a cost-cutting exercise to increase operational efficiency.We also remain committed to company-wide cost reduction,including reducing COGS per vehicle.Ultimately,we are focused on profitable growth,including by leveraging existing factories and production lines to introduce new and more affordable products.The future is not only electric,but also autonomous.We believe scaled autonomy is only possible with data from millions of vehicles and an immense AI training cluster.We have,and continue to

ACEA;A;CAAM light-duty vehicles only;TTM=Trailing twelve months7A sequential decline in volumes was partially caused by the early phase of the production ramp of the updated Model 3 at our Fremont factory and factory shutdowns at Gigafactory Berlin resulting from shipping diversions caused by the Red Sea conflict and from an arson attack.US:California,Nevada and TexasUS:California,Nevada and TexasModel 3 production in Fremont was down sequentially as we changed the production line to the updated model.Sequentially,Model Y production at Gigafactory Texas increased to an all-time high,while COGS per unit improved to an all-time low.The Cybertruck ramp continued successfully at Gigafactory Texas,with a sequential cost improvement in Q1.We produced over 1,000 Cybertrucks in a single week in April.China:ShanghaiChina:ShanghaiProduction at Gigafactory Shanghai was down sequentially due to seasonality and planned shutdowns around Chinese New Year in Q1.Demand typically improves throughout the year.As we enter new markets,such as Chile,many of them will be supplied from Gigafactory Shanghai.Europe:BerlinEurope:Berlin-BrandenburgBrandenburgModel Y production in Berlin was down

with FSD Beta(billions;as of Apr-21-24)8Artificial Intelligence Software and HardwareArtificial Intelligence Software and HardwareWe have been investing in the hardware and software ecosystems necessary to achieve vehicle autonomy and a ride-hailing service.We believe a scalable and profitable autonomy business can be realized through a vision-only architecture with end-to-end neural networks,trained on billions of miles of real-world data.Since the launch of FSD(Supervised)V12 earlier this year,it has become clear that this architecture long pursued by Tesla is the right solution for scalable autonomy.To further improve our end-to-end training capability,we will continue to increase our core AI infrastructure capacity in the coming months.In Q1,we completed the transition to Hardware 4.0,our latest in-vehicle computer with increased inference processing power and improved cameras.Vehicle and Other SoftwareVehicle and Other SoftwareWe rolled out FSD(Supervised)with a 30-day free trial to eligible cars in U.S.and Canada.FSD(Supervised)can change lanes,select forks to follow routes,navigate around vehicles and objects and make turns.We released Autopark to existing eligible FSD(Supervised)and Enhanced Autopilot customers.We are currently working on ride-hailing functionality that will be available in the future.We believe the Tesla software experience is best-in-class across all our products,and plan to seamlessly layer ride-hailing into the Tesla App.Battery,Powertrain&ManufacturingBattery,Powertrain&Manufacturing4680 ramp continued successfully in

business is becoming an increasingly profitable part of Tesla.As Megapack continues to ramp and as our fleet continues to grow,we are expecting consistent profit growth of our non-automotive business.Energy Generation and StorageEnergy Generation and StorageEnergy storage deployments increased sequentially in Q1 to a record 4.1 GWh.Energy Generation and Storage revenue and gross profit also achieved an all-time high in Q1.Revenues were up 7%YoY and gross profit was up 140%YoY,driven by increased Megapack deployments,partially offset by a decrease in solar deployments.Energy Generation and Storage remains our highest margin business.Our second general assembly line is now commissioned,and we continue to ramp our 40 GWh Megafactory in Lathrop,CA toward full capacity.Services and OtherServices and OtherServices and Other revenue grew 25%YoY in Q1,while gross profit was down 40%YoY.The biggest driver of gross profit reduction YoY was lower used vehicle profit,partially offset by growth in gross profit from part sales.Starting at the end of February,we began opening our North American Supercharger Network to more non-Tesla EV owners.We will continue to onboard OEMs who have committed to NACS over the coming quarters,while also opening more sites to other EVs in regions outside North America,both of which should drive incremental revenue and profit generation.O U T L O O K10VolumeVolumeOur company is currently between two major growth waves:the first one began with the global expansion of the Model 3/Y platform and we believe the next one will be initiated by advances in autonomy and introduction of new products,including those built on our next generation vehicle platform.In 2024,our vehicle volume growth rate may be notably lower than the growth rate achieved in 2023,as our teams work on the launch of the next generation vehicle and other products.In 2024,the growth rates of energy storage deployments and revenue in our Energy Generation and Storage business should outpace the Automotive business.CashCashWe have sufficient liquidity to fund our product roadmap,long-term capacity expansion plans and other expenses.Furthermore,we will manage the business such that we maintain a strong balance sheet during this uncertain period.ProfitProfitWhile we continue to execute on innovations to reduce the cost of manufacturing and operations,over time,we expect our hardware-related profits to be accompanied by an acceleration of AI,software and fleet-based profits.ProductProductWe have updated our future vehicle line-up to accelerate the launch of new models ahead of our previously communicated start of production in the second half of 2025.These new vehicles,including more affordable models,will utilize aspects of the next generation platform as well as aspects of our current platforms,and will be able to be produced on the same manufacturing lines as our current vehicle line-up.This update may result in achieving less cost reduction than previously expected but enables us to prudently grow our vehicle volumes in a more capex efficient manner during uncertain times.This would help us fully utilize our current expected maximum capacity of close to three million vehicles,enabling more than 50%growth over 2023 production before investing in new manufacturing lines.Our purpose-built robotaxi product will continue to pursue a revolutionary“unboxed”manufacturing strategy.P H O T O S&C H A R T SE L E C T R I C V E H I C L E A D O P T I O N R A T E R E M A I N S U N D E R P R E S S U

L I N F O R M A T I O NWEBCASTWEBCAST INFORMATIONINFORMATIONTesla will provide a live webcast of its first quarter 2024 financial results conference call beginning at 4:30 p.m.CT on April 23,2024 at .This webcast will also be available for replay for approximately one year thereafter.CERTAINCERTAIN TERMSTERMSWhen used in this update,certain terms have the following meanings.Our vehicle deliveries include only vehicles that have been transferred to end customers with all paperwork correctly completed.Our energy product deployment volume includes both customer units installed and equipment sales;we report installations at time of commissioning for storage projects or inspection for solar projects,and equipment sales at time of delivery.Adjusted EBITDA is equal to(i)net income(loss)attributable to common stockholders before(ii)(a)interest expense,(b)provision for income taxes,(c)depreciation,amortization and impairment and(d)stock-based compensation expense.Free cash flow is operating cash flow less capital expenditures.Average cost per vehicle is cost of automotive sales divided by new vehicle deliveries(excluding operating leases).“Days sales outstanding”is equal to(i)average accounts receivable,net for the period divided by(ii)total revenues and multiplied by(iii)the number of days in the period.“Days payable outstanding”is equal to(i)average accounts payable for the period divided by(ii)total cost of revenues and multiplied by(iii)the number of days in the period.“Days of supply”is calculated by dividing new car ending inventory by the relevant quarters deliveries and using 75 trading days.Constant currency impacts are calculated by comparing actuals against current results converted into USD using average exchange rates from the prior period.NONNON-GAAPGAAP FINANCIALFINANCIAL INFORMATIONINFORMATIONConsolidated financial information has been presented in accordance with GAAP as well as on a non-GAAP basis to supplement our consolidated financial results.Our non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP net income(loss)attributable to common stockholders,non-GAAP net income(loss)attributable to common stockholders on a diluted per share basis(calculated using weighted average shares for GAAP diluted net income(loss)attributable to common stockholders),Adjusted EBITDA,Adjusted EBITDA margin and free cash flow.These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate managements internal comparisons to Teslas historical performance as well as comparisons to the operating results of other companies.Management believes that it is useful to supplement its GAAP financial statements with this non-GAAP information because management uses such information internally for its operating,budgeting and financial planning purposes.Management also believes that presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to our investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations,so that investors can see through the eyes of Tesla management regarding important financial metrics that Tesla uses to run the business and allowing investors to better understand Teslas performance.Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and therefore,should only be read in conjunction with financial information reported under U.S.GAAP when understanding Teslas operating performance.A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial information is provided above.FORWARDFORWARD-LOOKINGLOOKING STATEMENTSSTATEMENTSCertain statements in this update,including statements in the“Outlook”section;statements relating to the future development,strategy,ramp,production and capacity,demand and market growth,cost,pricing and profitability,investment,deliveries,deployment,availability and other features and improvements and timing of existing and future Tesla products;statements regarding operating margin,operating profits,spending and liquidity;and statements regarding expansion,improvements and/or ramp and related timing at our factories are“forward-looking statements”that are subject to risks and uncertainties.These forward-looking statements are based on managements current expectations,and as a result of certain risks and uncertainties,actual results may differ materially from those projected.The following important factors,without limitation,could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements:the risk of delays in launching and manufacturing our products and features cost-effectively;our ability to grow our sales,delivery,installation,servicing and charging capabilities and effectively manage this growth;consumers demand for electric vehicles generally and our vehicles specifically;the ability of suppliers to deliver components according to schedules,prices,quality and volumes acceptable to us,and our ability to manage such components effectively;any issues with lithium-ion cells or other components manufactured at our factories;our ability to ramp our factories in accordance with our plans;our ability to procure supply of battery cells,including through our own manufacturing;risks relating to international expansion;any failures by Tesla products to perform as expected or if product recalls occur;the risk of product liability claims;competition in the automotive and energy product markets;our ability to maintain public credibility and confidence in our long-term business prospects;our ability to manage risks relating to our various product financing programs;the status of government and economic incentives for electric vehicles and energy products;our ability to attract,hire and retain key employees and qualified personnel;our ability to maintain the security of our information and production and product systems;our compliance with various regulations and laws applicable to our operations and products,which may evolve from time to time;risks relating to our indebtedness and financing strategies;and adverse foreign exchange movements.More information on potential factors that could affect our financial results is included from time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission filings and reports,including the risks identified under the section captioned“Risk Factors”in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on January 26,2024.Tesla disclaims any obligation to update information contained in these forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information,future events or otherwise.30

Fargo&Company and Subsidiaries TANGIBLE COMMON EQUITY We also evaluate our business based on certain ratios that utilize tangible common equity.Tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents total equity less preferred equity,noncontrolling interests,goodwill,certain identifiable intangible assets(other than MSRs)and goodwill and other intangibles on investments in consolidated portfolio companies,net of applicable deferred taxes.One of these ratios is return on average tangible common equity(ROTCE),which represents our annualized earnings as a percentage of tangible common equity.The methodology of determining tangible common equity may differ among companies.Management believes that return on average tangible common equity,which utilizes tangible common equity,is a useful financial measure because it enables management,investors,and others to assess the Companys use of equity.The table below provides a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial
