Financial presentationto accompany management commentaryFY24 Q2The following guidance reflects the Companys expectations for the third quarter and fiscal year 2024 and is provided on a non-GAAP basis as the Company cannot predict certain elements that are included in reported GAAP results,such as the changes in fair value of the Companys equity and other investments.Growth rates reflect an adjusted basis for prior year results.Additionally,the Companys guidance assumes a generally stable consumer and continued pressure from its mix of products and formats globally.The Companys fiscal year guidance is based on the following previously disclosed FY23 figures:Net sales:$605.9 billion,adjusted operating income1:$24.6 billion,adjusted EPS1$6.29.MetricFY242 Consolidated net

non-GAAP measures contained in this presentation.Additional information as required by Regulation G and Item 10(e)of Regulation S-K regarding non-GAAP measures can be found in our most recent Form 10-K and our Form 8-K furnished as of the date of this presentation with the SEC,which are available at .Non-GAAP measures-ROIWe include Return on Assets(ROA),which is calculated in accordance with U.S.generally accepted accounting principles(GAAP)as well as Return on Investment(ROI)as measures to assess returns on assets.Management believes ROI is a meaningful measure to share with investors because it helps investors assess how effectively Walmart is deploying its assets.Trends in ROI can fluctuate over time as management balances long-term strategic initiatives with possible short-term impacts.We consider ROA to be the financial measure computed in accordance with GAAP that is the most directly comparable financial measure to our calculation of ROI.ROA was 5.6%percent and 5.8%percent for the trailing twelve months ended July 31,2023 and 2022,respectively.The decrease in ROA was primarily due to the increase in average total assets driven by higher purchases of property and equipment.ROI was 12.8%and 13.8%for the trailing 12 months ended July 31,2023 and 2022,respectively.The decrease in ROI was the result of a decrease in operating income primarily due to opioid legal charges and reorganization and restructuring charges recorded in Q3 and Q4 of fiscal 2023 respectively,as well as an increase in average invested capital primarily due to higher purchases of property and equipment.We define ROI as operating income plus interest income,depreciation and amortization,and rent expense for the trailing twelve months divided by average invested capital during that period.We consider average invested capital to be the average of our beginning and ending total assets,plus average accumulated depreciation and average amortization,less average accounts payable and average accrued liabilities for that period.Our calculation of ROI is considered a non-GAAP financial measure because we calculate ROI using financial measures that exclude and include amounts that are included and excluded in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.For example,we exclude the impact of depreciation and amortization from our reported operating income in calculating the numerator of our calculation of ROI.As mentioned above,we consider ROA to be the financial measure computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles most directly comparable to our calculation of ROI.ROI differs from ROA(which is consolidated net income for the period divided by average total assets for the period)because ROI:adjusts operating income to exclude certain expense items and adds interest income;adjusts total assets for the impact of accumulated depreciation and amortization,accounts payable and accrued liabilities to arrive at total invested capital.Because of the adjustments mentioned above,we believe ROI more accurately measures how we are deploying our key assets and is more meaningful to investors than ROA.Although ROI is a standard financial measure,numerous methods exist for calculating a companys ROI.As a result,the method used by management to calculate our ROI may differ from the methods used by other companies to calculate their ROI.The calculation of ROA and ROI,along with a reconciliation of ROI to the calculation of ROA,is as follows:Non-GAAP measures ROI(cont.)CALCULATION OF RETURN ON ASSETSTrailing Twelve Months

the account balance at the end of the prior period and dividing by 2Non-GAAP measures free cash flowWe define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities in a period minus payments for property and equipment made in that period.Net cash provided by operating activities was$18.2 billion for the six months ended July31,2023,which represents an increase of$9.0 billion when compared to the same period in the prior year.The increase is primarily due to moderated levels of inventory purchases and timing of certain payments.Free cash flow for the six months ended July31,2023 was$9.0 billion,which represents an increase of$7.2 billion when compared to the same period in the prior year.The increase in free cash flow is due to the increase in operating cash flows described above,partially offset by an increase of$1.7 billion in capital expenditures to support our investment strategy.Free cash flow is considered a non-GAAP financial measure.Management believes,however,that free cash flow,which measures our ability to generate additional cash from our business operations,is an important financial measure for use in evaluating the Companys financial performance.Free cash flow should be considered in addition to,rather than as a substitute for,consolidated net income as a measure of our performance and net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.Additionally,Walmarts definition of free cash flow is limited,in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures,due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations or payments made for business acquisitions.Therefore,we believe it is important to view free cash flow as a measure that provides supplemental information to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.Although other companies report their free cash flow,numerous methods may exist for calculating a companys free cash flow.As a result,the method used by Walmarts management to calculate our free cash flow may differ from the methods used by other companies to calculate their free cash flow.Non-GAAP measures free cash flow(cont.)The following table sets forth a reconciliation of free cash flow,a non-GAAP financial measure,to net cash provided by operating activities,which we

measures constant currencyIn discussing our operating results,the term currency exchange rates refers to the currency exchange rates we use to convert the operating results for countries where the functional currency is not the U.S.dollar into U.S.dollars.We calculate the effect of changes in currency exchange rates as the difference between current period activity translated using the current periods currency exchange rates and the comparable prior year periods currency exchange rates.Additionally,no currency exchange rate fluctuations are calculated for non-USD acquisitions until owned for 12 months.Throughout our discussion,we refer to the results of this calculation as the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations.When we refer to constant currency operating results,this means operating results without the impact of the currency exchange rate fluctuations.The disclosure of constant currency amounts or results permits investors to better understand Walmarts underlying performance without the effects of currency exchange rate fluctuations.The table below reflects the calculation of constant currency for net sales for the Walmart International segment for the trailing five quarters and operating income for the current quarter.Three Months EndedWalmart International(Dollars in millions)Q2 FY23Q3 FY23Q4 FY23Q1 FY24Q2 FY24Net sales:As

performance and the ability to make a more informed assessment of such core earnings performance with that of the prior year.We adjust for the unrealized and realized gains and losses on our equity and other investments each quarter because although the investments are strategic decisions for the companys retail operations,managements measurement of each strategy is primarily focused on the operational results rather than the fair value of such investments.Additionally,management does not forecast changes in the fair value of its equity and other investments.Accordingly,management adjusts EPS each quarter for the realized and unrealized gains and losses related to those equity investments.We have calculated Adjusted EPS for the trailing five quarters as well as the prior year comparable periods by adjusting EPS for the relevant adjustments for each period presented.Three Months Ended Jul 31,20235Three Months Ended Jul 31,20225Percent ChangeDiluted earnings per

margin,which are calculated in accordance with U.S.generally accepted accounting principle as well as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to provide meaningful information about our operational efficiency compared with our competitors by excluding the impact of certain items.We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest,taxes,depreciation and amortization.We also exclude other gains and losses,which is primarily comprised of fair value adjustments on our investments which management does not believe are indicative of our core business performance.From time to time,we will also adjust certain items from operating income,which we believe is meaningful because it best allows comparison of the performance with that of the comparable period.Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by consolidated net sales.Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are considered non-GAAP financial measures.Management believes,however,that these measures provide meaningful information about our operational efficiency by excluding the impact of differences in tax jurisdictions and structures,debt levels,capital investments and other items which management does not believe are indicative of our core business performance.We consider net income to be the financial measure computed in accordance with GAAP that is the most directly comparable financial measure to our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.We consider net income margin to be the financial measure computed in accordance with GAAP that is the most directly comparable financial measure to our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA margin.Although Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are standard financial measures,numerous methods exist for calculating a companys Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin.As a result,the method used by management to calculate our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin may differ from the methods used by other companies to calculate similarly titled measures.Net income margin was 4.9%and 3.4%for the three months ended July 31,2023 and 2022,respectively.The increase in net income margin was primarily due to the increase in net income,which was impacted by higher unrealized net gains on our equity and other investments,when compared to the same period in the previous year.Adjusted EBITDA margin was 6.4%and 6.3%for the three months ended July 31,2023 and 2022,respectively.The increase in Adjusted EBITDA margin was due to higher operating income driven primarily by an increase in net sales when compared to the same period in the previous year.Non-GAAP measures Adjusted EBITDA&Adjusted EBITDA marginThe calculation of net income margin and Adjusted EBITDA margin,along with a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA margin to the calculation of net income margin,is as follows:We define adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest,taxes,depreciation and amortization,as well as adjustments for certain items that are excluded from earnings as previously described in the reconciliation for adjusted EPS.Adjusted EBITDA is considered a non-GAAP financial measure.Management believes,however,that this measure provides meaningful information about our operational efficiency compared with our competitors by excluding the impact of differences in tax jurisdictions and structures,debt levels,capital investments and other items which management does not believe are indicative of our core business performance.Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by consolidated net income.Adjusted EBITDA margin is also considered a non-GAAP financial measure.These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to,rather than as a substitute for,consolidated net income,which is the most comparable GAAP measure for adjusted EBITDA and consolidated net income margin,which is the most comparable GAAP measure for adjusted EBITDA margin.Although other companies report adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin,numerous methods may exist for calculating these metrics.As a result,the methods used by Walmarts management to calculate our adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin may differ from the methods used by other companies to calculate similarly titled measures.Three Months EndedQ2 FY24Q2 FY23(Amounts in millions)20232022Consolidated net income attributable to Walmart

Financial presentationto accompany management commentaryQ1 FY24The following guidance reflects the Companys expectations for the second quarter and fiscal year 2024 and is provided on a non-GAAP basis as the Company cannot predict certain elements that are included in reported GAAP results,such as the changes in fair value of the Companys equity and other investments.Growth rates reflect an

non-GAAP measures contained in this presentation.Additional information as required by Regulation G and Item 10(e)of Regulation S-K regarding non-GAAP measures can be found in our most recent Form 10-K and our Form 8-K furnished as of the date of this presentation with the SEC,which are available at .Non-GAAP measures-ROIWe include Return on Assets(ROA),which is calculated in accordance with U.S.generally accepted accounting principles(GAAP)as well as Return on Investment(ROI)as measures to assess returns on assets.Management believes ROI is a meaningful measure to share with investors because it helps investors assess how effectively Walmart is deploying its assets.Trends in ROI can fluctuate over time as management balances long-term strategic initiatives with possible short-term impacts.We consider ROA to be the financial measure computed in accordance with GAAP that is the most directly comparable financial measure to our calculation of ROI.ROA was 4.5%percent and 5.5%percent for the trailing twelve months ended April 30,2023 and 2022,respectively.The decrease in ROA was primarily due to the decrease in net income,which was driven by lower operating income,partially offset by lapping debt extinguishment charges.ROI was 12.7%and 13.9%for the trailing 12 months ended April 30,2023 and 2022,respectively.The decrease in ROI was primarily due to the decrease in operating income which included opioid legal charges and reorganization and restructuring charges recorded in Q3 and Q4 of fiscal 2023.We define ROI as operating income plus interest income,depreciation and amortization,and rent expense for the trailing twelve months divided by average invested capital during that period.We consider average invested capital to be the average of our beginning and ending total assets,plus average accumulated depreciation and average amortization,less average accounts payable and average accrued liabilities for that period.Our calculation of ROI is considered a non-GAAP financial measure because we calculate ROI using financial measures that exclude and include amounts that are included and excluded in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.For example,we exclude the impact of depreciation and amortization from our reported operating income in calculating the numerator of our calculation of ROI.As mentioned above,we consider ROA to be the financial measure computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles most directly comparable to our calculation of ROI.ROI differs from ROA(which is consolidated net income for the period divided by average total assets for the period)because ROI:adjusts operating income to exclude certain expense items and adds interest income;adjusts total assets for the impact of accumulated depreciation and amortization,accounts payable and accrued liabilities to arrive at total invested capital.Because of the adjustments mentioned above,we believe ROI more accurately measures how we are deploying our key assets and is more meaningful to investors than ROA.Although ROI is a standard financial measure,numerous methods exist for calculating a companys ROI.As a result,the method used by management to calculate our ROI may differ from the methods used by other companies to calculate their ROI.The calculation of ROA and ROI,along with a reconciliation of ROI to the calculation of ROA,is as follows:Non-GAAP measures ROI(cont.)CALCULATION OF RETURN ON ASSETSTrailing Twelve Months EndingApr 30,Jul 31,Oct 31,Jan 31,Apr 30,(Dollars in

balance at the end of the prior period and dividing by 2Non-GAAP measures free cash flowWe define free cash flow as net cash provided by or used in operating activities in a period minus payments for property and equipment made in that period.Net cash provided by operating activities was$4.6 billion for the three months ended April30,2023,which represents an increase of$8.4 billion when compared to the same period in the prior year.The increase is primarily due to moderated levels of inventory purchases and timing of certain payments.Free cash flow for the three months ended April30,2023 was$0.2 billion,which represents an increase of$7.5 billion when compared to the same period in the prior year.The increase in free cash flow is due to the increase in operating cash flows described above,partially offset by an increase of$0.9 billion in capital expenditures to support our investment strategy.Free cash flow is considered a non-GAAP financial measure.Management believes,however,that free cash flow,which measures our ability to generate additional cash from our business operations,is an important financial measure for use in evaluating the Companys financial performance.Free cash flow should be considered in addition to,rather than as a substitute for,consolidated net income as a measure of our performance and net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.Additionally,Walmarts definition of free cash flow is limited,in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures,due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations or payments made for business acquisitions.Therefore,we believe it is important to view free cash flow as a measure that provides supplemental information to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.Although other companies report their free cash flow,numerous methods may exist for calculating a companys free cash flow.As a result,the method used by Walmarts management to calculate our free cash flow may differ from the methods used by other companies to calculate their free cash flow.Non-GAAP measures free cash flow(cont.)The following table sets forth a reconciliation of free cash flow,a non-GAAP financial measure,to net cash provided by operating activities,which we believe to be the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to free cash flow.Year to Date Period Ended(Dollars in millions)Q1 FY23Q2 FY23Q3 FY23Q4 FY23Q1 FY24Net cash provided by(used

constant currencyIn discussing our operating results,the term currency exchange rates refers to the currency exchange rates we use to convert the operating results for countries where the functional currency is not the U.S.dollar into U.S.dollars.We calculate the effect of changes in currency exchange rates as the difference between current period activity translated using the current periods currency exchange rates and the comparable prior year periods currency exchange rates.Additionally,no currency exchange rate fluctuations are calculated for non-USD acquisitions until owned for 12 months.Throughout our discussion,we refer to the results of this calculation as the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations.When we refer to constant currency operating results,this means operating results without the impact of the currency exchange rate fluctuations.The disclosure of constant currency amounts or results permits investors to better understand Walmarts underlying performance without the effects of currency exchange rate fluctuations.The table below reflects the calculation of constant currency for net sales for the Walmart International segment for the trailing five quarters and operating income for the current quarter.Three Months EndedWalmart International(Dollars in millions)Q1 FY23Q2 FY23Q3 FY23Q4 FY23Q1 FY24Net sales:As

addition,adjusted operating income affords investors a view of what management considers Walmarts core earnings performance and the ability to make a more informed assessment of such core earnings performance as compared with that of the prior year.When we refer to adjusted operating income in constant currency,this means adjusted operating results without the impact of the currency exchange rate fluctuations.The disclosure of constant currency amounts or results permits investors to better understand Walmarts underlying performance without the effects of currency exchange rate

reorganization and restructuring charges in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 primarily relate to compensation expenses incurred in connection with the strategic decisions made in the Walmart International segment.Business restructuring charges in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 primarily consist of severance and store closure related costs due to strategic decisions made in the Walmart International segment.2 The opioid legal charges are recorded in Corporate and support.3Change versus prior year comparable period.NP=not providedNon-GAAP measures adjusted EPS Adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to Walmart(Adjusted EPS)is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under the SECs rules because it excludes certain amounts included in the diluted earnings per share attributable to Walmart calculated in accordance with GAAP(EPS),the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.Management believes that Adjusted EPS is a meaningful measure to share with investors because it best allows comparison of the performance with that of the comparable period.In addition,Adjusted EPS affords investors a view of what management considers Walmarts core earnings performance and the ability to make a more informed assessment of such core earnings performance with that of the prior year.We adjust for the unrealized and realized gains and losses on our equity and other investments each quarter because although the investments are strategic decisions for the companys retail operations,managements measurement of each strategy is primarily focused on the operational results rather than the fair value of such investments.Additionally,management does not forecast changes in the fair value of its equity and other investments.Accordingly,management adjusts EPS each quarter for the realized and unrealized gains and losses related to those equity investments.We have calculated Adjusted EPS for the trailing five quarters as well as the prior year comparable periods by adjusting EPS for the relevant adjustments for each period presented.Three Months Ended Apr 30,2023Three Months Ended Apr 30,2022Percent

accordance with U.S.generally accepted accounting principle as well as EBITDA and EBITDA margin to provide meaningful information about our operational efficiency compared with our competitors by excluding the impact of certain items.We calculate EBITDA as earnings before interest,taxes,depreciation and amortization.We also exclude other gains and losses,which is primarily comprised of fair value adjustments on our investments which management does not believe are indicative of our core business performance.From time to time,we will adjust EBITDA(Adjusted EBITDA)for certain items that we adjust from operating income,which we believe is meaningful because it best allows comparison of the performance with that of the comparable period.EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA by consolidated net sales.EBITDA and EBITDA margin are considered non-GAAP financial measures.Management believes,however,that these measures provide meaningful information about our operational efficiency by excluding the impact of differences in tax jurisdictions and structures,debt levels,capital investments and other items which management does not believe are indicative of our core business performance.We consider net income to be the financial measure computed in accordance with GAAP that is the most directly comparable financial measure to our calculation of EBITDA.We consider net income margin to be the financial measure computed in accordance with GAAP that is the most directly comparable financial measure to our calculation of EBITDA margin.Although EBITDA and EBITDA margin are standard financial measures,numerous methods exist for calculating a companys EBITDA and EBITDA margin.As a result,the method used by management to calculate our EBITDA and EBITDA margin may differ from the methods used by other companies to calculate similarly titled measures.Net income margin was 1.1%and 1.5%for the three months ended April 30,2023 and 2022,respectively.The decrease in net income margin was primarily due to the decrease in net income,which was impacted by higher unrealized losses on our equity and other investments,when compared to the same period in the previous year.EBITDA margin was 6.0%and 5.7%for the 3 months ended April 30,2023 and 2022,respectively.The increase in EBITDA margin was due to higher operating income driven primarily by an increase in net sales when compared to the same period in the previous year.Non-GAAP measures EBITDA&EBITDA marginThe calculation of net income margin and EBITDA margin,along with a reconciliation of EBITDA margin to the calculation of net income margin,is as follows:We define adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest,taxes,depreciation and amortization,as well as adjustments for certain items that are excluded from earnings as previously described in the reconciliation for adjusted EPS.Adjusted EBITDA is considered a non-GAAP financial measure.Management believes,however,that this measure provides meaningful information about our operational efficiency compared with our competitors by excluding the impact of differences in tax jurisdictions and structures,debt levels,capital investments and other items which management does not believe are indicative of our core business performance.Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by consolidated net income.Adjusted EBITDA margin is also considered a non-GAAP financial measure.These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to,rather than as a substitute for,consolidated net income,which is the most comparable GAAP measure for adjusted EBITDA and consolidated net income margin,which is the most comparable GAAP measure for adjusted EBITDA margin.Although other companies report adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin,numerous methods may exist for calculating these metrics.As a result,the methods used by Walmarts management to calculate our adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin may differ from the methods used by other companies to calculate similarly titled measures.Three Months EndedQ1 FY24Q1 FY23(Amounts in

our most recent Form 10-K and our Form 8-K furnished as of the date of this presentation with the SEC,which are available at .Non-GAAP measures ROIWe include return on assets(ROA),which is calculated in accordance with U.S.generally accepted accounting principles(GAAP)as well as return on investment(ROI)as measures to assess returns on assets.Management believes ROI is a meaningful measure to share with investors because it helps investors assess how effectively Walmart is deploying its assets.Trends in ROI can fluctuate over time as management balances long-term strategic initiatives with possible short-term impacts.We consider ROA to be the financial measure computed in accordance with GAAP that is the most directly comparable financial measure to our calculation of ROI.ROA was 6.5%percent and 3.7%percent for the trailing twelve months ended October 31,2023 and 2022,respectively.The increase in ROA was primarily due to an increase in consolidated net income during the trailing twelve month period primarily due to lapping the opioid legal charges incurred in the prior year comparable period.ROI was 14.1%and 12.8%for the trailing 12 months ended October 31,2023 and 2022,respectively.The increase in ROI was the result of an increase in operating income primarily due to lapping the opioid legal charges incurred in the prior year comparable period,partially offset by an increase in average invested capital primarily due to higher purchases of property and equipment.We define ROI as operating income plus interest income,depreciation and amortization,and rent expense for the trailing twelve months divided by average invested capital during that period.We consider average invested capital to be the average of our beginning and ending total assets,plus average accumulated depreciation and average amortization,less average accounts payable and average accrued liabilities for that period.Our calculation of ROI is considered a non-GAAP financial measure because we calculate ROI using financial measures that exclude and include amounts that are included and excluded in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.For example,we exclude the impact of depreciation and amortization from our reported operating income in calculating the numerator of our calculation of ROI.As mentioned above,we consider ROA to be the financial measure computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles most directly comparable to our calculation of ROI.ROI differs from ROA(which is consolidated net income for the period divided by average total assets for the period)because ROI:adjusts operating income to exclude certain expense items and adds interest income;adjusts total assets for the impact of accumulated depreciation and amortization,accounts payable and accrued liabilities to arrive at total invested capital.Because of the adjustments mentioned above,we believe ROI more accurately measures how we are deploying our key assets and is more meaningful to investors than ROA.Although ROI is a standard financial measure,numerous methods exist for calculating a companys ROI.As a result,the method used by management to calculate our ROI may differ from the methods used by other companies to calculate their ROI.The calculation of ROA and ROI,along with a reconciliation of ROI to the calculation of ROA,is as

net cash provided by operating activities in a period minus payments for property and equipment made in that period.Net cash provided by operating activities was$19.0 billion for the nine months ended October31,2023,which represents an increase of$3.3 billion when compared to the same period in the prior year.The increase is primarily due to timing of certain payments and moderated levels of inventory purchases,partially offset by payment of the remaining accrued opioid legal charges.Free cash flow for the nine months ended October31,2023 was$4.3 billion,which represents an increase of$0.7 billion when compared to the same period in the prior year.The increase in free cash flow is due to the increase in operating cash flows described above,partially offset by an increase of$2.6 billion in capital expenditures to support our investment strategy.Free cash flow is considered a non-GAAP financial measure.Management believes,however,that free cash flow,which measures our ability to generate additional cash from our business operations,is an important financial measure for use in evaluating the Companys financial performance.Free cash flow should be considered in addition to,rather than as a substitute for,consolidated net income as a measure of our performance and net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.Additionally,Walmarts definition of free cash flow is limited,in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures,due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations or payments made for business acquisitions.Therefore,we believe it is important to view free cash flow as a measure that provides supplemental information to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.Although other companies report their free cash flow,numerous methods may exist for calculating a companys free cash flow.As a result,the method used by Walmarts management to calculate our free cash flow may differ from the methods used by other companies to calculate their free cash flow.Non-GAAP measures free cash flow(cont.)The following table sets forth a reconciliation of free cash flow,a non-GAAP financial measure,to net cash provided by operating activities,which we believe to be the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to free cash flow,as well as information regarding net cash used in investing activities and net cash used in financing activities.Year to Date Period Ended(Dollars in millions)Q3 FY23Q4 FY23Q1 FY24Q2

measures constant currencyIn discussing our operating results,the term currency exchange rates refers to the currency exchange rates we use to convert the operating results for countries where the functional currency is not the U.S.dollar into U.S.dollars.We calculate the effect of changes in currency exchange rates as the difference between current period activity translated using the current periods currency exchange rates and the comparable prior year periods currency exchange rates.Additionally,no currency exchange rate fluctuations are calculated for non-USD acquisitions until owned for 12 months.Throughout our discussion,we refer to the results of this calculation as the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations.When we refer to constant currency operating results,this means operating results without the impact of the currency exchange rate fluctuations.The disclosure of constant currency amounts or results permits investors to better understand Walmarts underlying performance without the effects of currency exchange rate fluctuations.The table below reflects the calculation of constant currency for net sales for the Walmart International segment for the

calculate similarly titled measures.Net income(loss)margin was 0.3%and-1.2%for the three months ended October 31,2023 and 2022,respectively.The increase in net income margin was primarily due to the increase in net income primarily due to lapping the opioid legal charges incurred in Q3 FY23.Adjusted EBITDA margin was 5.8%for the three months ended October 31,2023 and 2022.Adjusted EBITDA margin remained relatively flat as the increase in adjusted EBITDA was offset by the increase in net sales.

ContentsAMAZON.COM,INC.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(unaudited)Note 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SUPPLEMENTAL 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 2023 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 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.Prior Period ReclassificationsCertain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.“Other operating expense(income),net”wasreclassified into“Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and capitalized content costs,operating lease assets,and other”on our consolidatedstatements 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.For the six months ended June 30,2023,we recorded approximately$510 million of estimated severance costs primarily related to planned roleeliminations.These charges were recorded primarily in“Sales and marketing,”“Technology and infrastructure,”and“General and administrative”on ourconsolidated statements of operations and included approximately$320 million recorded within our AWS segment.For the six months ended June 30,2022 and 2023,we recorded approximately$260 million and$250 million of impairments of property and equipmentand operating leases primarily related to physical stores in 2022 and fulfillment network facilities in 2023.These charges were recorded in“Other operatingexpense(income),net”on our consolidated statements of operations and primarily impacted our North America segment.For the six months ended June 30,2022 and 2023,we also recorded expenses of approximately$230 million and$180 million primarily in“Fulfillment”in 2022 and“Cost of sales”and“Fulfillment”in 2023,on our consolidated statements of operations primarily relating to terminating contracts for certain leases not yet commenced as well asother purchase commitments,which primarily impacted our North America segment.7Table of ContentsSupplemental Cash Flow InformationThe following table shows supplemental cash flow information(in

ourweighted-average 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 EndedJune 30,Six

30,2022 and 2023,from our equity investment in Rivian Automotive,Inc.(“Rivian”).Ourinvestment in Rivians preferred stock was accounted for at cost,with adjustments for observable changes in prices or impairments,prior to Rivians initialpublic offering in November 2021,which resulted in the conversion of our preferred stock to Class A common stock.As of June 30,2023,we held 158 millionshares of Rivians Class A common stock,representing an approximate 17%ownership interest,and an approximate 16%voting interest.We determined thatwe have the ability to exercise significant influence over Rivian through our equity investment,our commercial arrangement for the purchase of electricvehicles,and one of our employees serving on Rivians8Table of Contentsboard of directors.We elected the fair value option to account for our equity investment in Rivian,which is included in“Marketable securities”on ourconsolidated balance sheets,and had a fair value of$2.9 billion and$2.6 billion as of December 31,2022 and June 30,2023.The investment was subject toregulatory sales restrictions resulting in a discount for lack of marketability of approximately$800 million as of December 31,2021,which expired in Q12022.Required summarized financial information of Rivian as disclosed in its most recent SEC filings is as follows(in millions):Three Months Ended March 31,20222023Revenues$95$661 Gross

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$2.8 billion and$2.7 billion as of December 31,2022 and June 30,2023.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 31,2022 and June 30,2023,customer receivables,net,were$26.6 billion and$25.3billion,vendor receivables,net,were$6.9 billion and$5.6 billion,seller receivables,net,were$1.3 billion and$1.3 billion,and other receivables,net,were$3.1 billion and$2.7 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$4.5 billion and$5.0 billion as of December 31,2022 and June 30,2023.We estimate losses on receivables based on expected losses,including our historical experience of actual losses.The allowance for doubtful accounts was$1.4 billion and$1.5 billion as of December 31,2022 and June 30,2023.Digital Video and Music ContentThe total capitalized costs of video,which is primarily released content,and music as of December 31,2022 and June 30,2023 were$16.7 billion and$17.8 billion.The weighted average remaining life of our capitalized video content is 3.6 years.Total video and music expense was$3.7 billion and$4.4billion in Q2 2022 and Q2 2023,and$7.3 billion and$8.4 billion for the six months ended June 30,2022 and 2023.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 31,2022 was$16.1 billion,of which$8.6 billion was recognized as revenue during the six months ended June 30,2023.Included in“Other long-term liabilities”on our consolidated balance sheets was$2.9 billion and$2.7 billion of unearned revenue as of December 31,2022 and June 30,2023.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$132.1 billion as of June 30,2023.The weighted-average remaining life of our long-term contracts is 3.6 years.However,the amount andtiming of revenue recognition is largely driven by customer usage,which can extend beyond the original contractual term.Acquisition ActivityOn February 22,2023,we acquired 1Life Healthcare,Inc.(“One Medical”),for cash consideration of approximately$3.5 billion,net of cash acquired,toprovide health care options for customers.The acquired assets primarily consist of$1.3 billion9Table of Contentsof intangible assets and$2.5 billion of goodwill,which is allocated to our North America segment.The valuation of certain assets and liabilities is preliminaryand subject to change.Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of the One Medical acquisition were not material to our consolidated resultsof operations.Acquisition-related costs were expensed as incurred and were not significant.Note 2 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSCash,Cash Equivalents,Restricted Cash,and Marketable SecuritiesAs of December 31,2022 and June 30,2023,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.We did not hold significant amounts of marketable securitiescategorized as Level 3 assets as of December 31,2022 and June 30,2023.10Table 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

customary closing conditions.We expect to fund this acquisition with cash on hand.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 relate to(i)the taxability of products and services,including cross-border intercompany transactions,(ii)collection and withholding ontransactions with third parties,and(iii)the adequacy of compliance with reporting obligations,including evolving documentation requirements.Due to theinherent complexity and uncertainty of these matters and the judicial and regulatory processes in certain jurisdictions,the final outcome of any suchcontroversies 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 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K and inItem 1 of Part I,“Financial Statements Note 4 Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings”of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for theperiod ended March 31,2023,as supplemented by the following: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 alleges,among other things,that Amazon S3 and DynamoDB infringe U.S.Patent Nos.7,814,170 and 7,103,640,both 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 seeks an unspecified amount of damages,enhanced damages,attorneysfees,costs,interest,and injunctive relief.In March 2022,the case was stayed pending resolution of review petitions we filed with the United States Patent andTrademark Office.In November 2022,the stay was lifted.In July 2023,Kove alleged in its damages report that in the event of a finding of liability AmazonWeb Services could be subject to$517 million to$1.03 billion in damages.We dispute the allegations of wrongdoing and intend to defend ourselves vigorouslyin this matter.In May 2023,Dialect,LLC filed a complaint against A,Inc.and Amazon Web Services,Inc.in the United States District Court for theEastern District for Virginia.The complaint alleges,among other things,that Amazons Alexa-enabled products and services,such as Echo devices,Firetablets,Fire TV sticks,Fire TVs,Alexa,and Alexa Voice Services,infringe U.S.Patent Nos.7,693,720 and 9,031,845,each entitled“Mobile Systems andMethods for Responding to Natural Language Speech Utterance”;8,015,006,entitled“Systems and Methods for Processing Natural Language SpeechUtterances with Context-Specific Domain Agents”;8,140,327,entitled“System and Method for Filtering and

Human-Machine Interactions”;and 9,263,039,entitled“Systems and Methods for Responding to Natural Language Speech Utterance.”Thecomplaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages,enhanced damages,attorneys fees,costs,interest,and injunctive relief.We dispute the allegations ofwrongdoing and intend 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.”14Table of ContentsNote 5 DEBTAs of June 30,2023,we had$66.5 billion of unsecured senior

equity$131,402$168,602$131,402$168,602 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 2023,we estimate that our effective tax rate will be favorably impacted by the foreign income deduction and U.S.federal research and developmentcredit and adversely affected by state income taxes.In addition,valuation gains and losses from our equity investment in Rivian impact our pre-tax income andmay cause variability in our effective tax rate.Our income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30,2022 was$2.1 billion,which included$3.2 billion of net discrete tax benefits primarilyattributable to a valuation loss related to our equity investment in Rivian.Our income tax provision for the six months ended June 30,2023 was$1.8 billion,which included$306 million of net discrete tax benefits,consisting of$805 million resulting from a change in the estimated qualifying expenditures associatedwith our 2022 U.S.17Table of Contentsfederal R&D credit and a related increase in our foreign income deduction tax benefit,partially offset by discrete tax expense related to shortfalls from stock-based compensation.Cash paid for income taxes,net of refunds was$3.1 billion and$3.7 billion in Q2 2022 and Q2 2023,and$3.6 billion and$4.4 billion for the six monthsended June 30,2022 and 2023.As of December 31,2022 and June 30,2023,tax contingencies were approximately$4.0 billion and$5.0 billion.Changes in tax laws,regulations,administrative practices,principles,and interpretations may impact our tax contingencies.Due to various factors,including the inherent complexities anduncertainties of the judicial,administrative,and regulatory processes in certain jurisdictions,the timing of the resolution of income tax controversies is highlyuncertain,and the amounts ultimately paid,if any,upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ from the amounts accrued.It isreasonably possible that within the next twelve months we will receive additional assessments by various tax authorities or possibly reach resolution of incometax controversies in one or more jurisdictions.These assessments or settlements could result in changes to our contingencies related to positions on prior yearstax 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.We believe the LTAs position is without merit and intend to defend ourselves vigorously in this matter.In February 2023,we received a decision by the Indian tax authority(“ITA”)that tax applies to cloud services fees paid to Amazon in the U.S.We willneed to remit taxes on the services in question,including for a portion of prior years,until this matter is resolved,which payments could be significant in theaggregate.We believe the ITAs decision is without merit,we are defending our position vigorously in the Indian courts,and we expect to recoup taxes paid.Ifthis matter is adversely resolved,we could recognize significant additional tax expense,including for taxes previously paid.In October 2014,the European Commission opened a formal investigation to examine whether decisions by the tax authorities in Luxembourg withregard to the corporate income tax paid by certain of our subsidiaries comply with European Union rules on state aid.On October 4,2017,the EuropeanCommission announced its decision that determinations by the tax authorities in Luxembourg did not comply with European Union rules on state aid.Based onthat decision,the European Commission announced an estimated recovery amount of approximately 250 million,plus interest,for the period May 2006through June 2014,and ordered Luxembourg tax authorities to calculate the actual amount of additional taxes subject to recovery.Luxembourg computed aninitial recovery amount,consistent with the European Commissions decision,which we deposited into escrow in March 2018,subject to adjustment pendingconclusion of all appeals.In December 2017,Luxembourg appealed the European Commissions decision.In May 2018,we appealed.On May 12,2021,theEuropean Union General Court annulled the European Commissions state aid decision.In July 2021,the European Commission appealed the decision to theEuropean Court of Justice.We will continue to defend ourselves vigorously in this matter.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.These segments reflect the way our chief operating decisionmaker evaluates the Companys business performance and manages its operations.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.18Table of ContentsInternationalThe 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.Information on reportable segments and reconciliation to consolidated net

of Financial Condition and 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,and cloud services,the amount that A invests in new business opportunities and the timing of those investments,the mixof products and services sold to customers,the mix of net sales derived from products as compared with services,the extent to which we owe income or othertaxes,competition,management of growth,potential fluctuations in operating results,international growth and expansion,the outcomes of claims,litigation,government investigations,and other proceedings,fulfillment,sortation,delivery,and data center optimization,risks of inventory management,variability indemand,the degree to which we enter into,maintain,and develop commercial agreements,proposed and completed acquisitions and strategic transactions,payments risks,and risks of fulfillment throughput and productivity.In addition,global economic and geopolitical conditions and additional or unforeseencircumstances,developments,or events may give rise to or amplify many of these risks.These risks and uncertainties,as well as other risks and uncertaintiesthat could cause our actual results or outcomes to differ significantly from managements expectations,are described in greater 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 2022 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 2022 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 June 30,2023,we would have recorded anadditional cost of sales of approximately$385 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 to21Table 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 EndedJune 30,Six Months EndedJune 30,Twelve Months EndedJune 30,202220232022202320222023Cash provided by(used in):Operating activities$8,965$16,476$6,175$21,264$35,574$61,841 Investing activities(12,078)(9,673)(11,172)(25,479)(38,580)(51,908)Financing activities4,626(6,539)6,616(185)740 2,917 Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows generated from operations and our cash,cash equivalents,and marketable securities balances,which,atfair value,were$70.0 billion and$64.0 billion as of December 31,2022 and June 30,2023.Amounts held in foreign currencies were$18.3 billion and$14.8billion as of December 31,2022 and June 30,2023.Our foreign currency balances include British Pounds,Canadian Dollars,Euros,Indian Rupee,andJapanese Yen.Cash provided by(used in)operating activities was$9.0 billion and$16.5 billion for Q2 2022 and Q2 2023,and$6.2 billion and$21.3 billion for the sixmonths ended June 30,2022 and 2023.Our operating cash flows result primarily from cash received from our consumer,seller,developer,enterprise,andcontent creator customers,and advertisers,offset by cash payments we make for products and services,employee compensation,payment processing andrelated transaction costs,operating leases,and interest payments.Cash received from our customers and other activities generally corresponds to our net sales.The increase in operating cash flow for the trailing twelve months ended June 30,2023,compared to the comparable prior year period,was due to changes innet income(loss),excluding non-cash expenses,and changes in working capital.Working capital at any specific point in time is subject to many variables,including variability in demand,inventory management and category expansion,the timing of cash receipts and payments,customer and vendor paymentterms,and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.Cash provided by(used in)investing activities corresponds with cash capital expenditures,including leasehold improvements,incentives received fromproperty and equipment vendors,proceeds from asset sales,cash outlays for acquisitions,investments in other companies and intellectual property rights,andpurchases,sales,and maturities of marketable securities.Cash provided by(used in)investing activities was$(12.1)billion and$(9.7)billion for Q2 2022 andQ2 2023,and$(11.2)billion and$(25.5)billion for the six months ended June 30,2022 and 2023,with the variability caused primarily by purchases,sales,andmaturities of marketable securities.Cash capital expenditures were$14.1 billion and$10.4 billion during Q2 2022 and Q2 2023,and$27.8 billion and$23.5billion for the six months ended June 30,2022 and 2023,which primarily reflect investments in technology infrastructure(the majority of which is to supportAWS business growth)and in additional capacity to support our fulfillment network.We expect cash capital expenditures to decrease in 2023,primarily due tolower spending on our fulfillment network.We made cash payments,net of acquired cash,related to acquisition and other investment activity of$259 millionand$316 million during Q2 2022 and Q2 2023,and$6.6 billion and$3.8 billion for the six months ended June 30,2022 and 2023.We funded the acquisitionsof MGM Holdings Inc.in 2022 and One Medical in 2023 with cash on hand.We expect to fund the acquisition of iRobot Corporation with cash on hand.22Table

inflows from financing activities resulted from proceeds from short-term debt,and other and long-term debt of$17.7 billion and$4.4 billion for Q2 2022 and Q2 2023,and$31.4 billion and$17.2 billion for the six months ended June 30,2022 and 2023.Cash outflowsfrom financing activities resulted from repurchases of common stock in 2022,payments of short-term debt,and other,long-term debt,finance leases,andfinancing obligations of$13.1 billion and$10.9 billion in Q2 2022 and Q2 2023,and$24.8 billion and$17.4 billion for the six months ended June 30,2022and 2023.Property and equipment acquired under finance leases was$61 million and$240 million during Q2 2022 and Q2 2023,and$227 million and$248million for the six months ended June 30,2022 and 2023.We had no borrowings outstanding under the two unsecured revolving credit facilities,$4.4 billion of borrowings outstanding under the commercialpaper programs,$972 million of borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility,and$8.0 billion of borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan as ofJune 30,2023.See Item 1 of Part I,“Financial Statements Note 5 Debt”for additional information.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.As a result,weexpect the cash taxes we pay in 2023 to increase significantly.Cash taxes paid(net of refunds)were$3.1 billion and$3.7 billion for Q2 2022 and Q2 2023,and$3.6 billion and$4.4 billion for the six months ended June 30,2022 and 2023.As of December 31,2022 and June 30,2023,restricted cash,cash equivalents,and marketable securities were$365 million and$538 million.See Item 1of Part I,“Financial Statements Note 4 Commitments and Contingencies”and“Financial Statements Note 5 Debt”for additional discussion of ourprincipal contractual commitments,as well as our pledged assets.Additionally,we have purchase obligations and open purchase orders,including for inventoryand capital expenditures,that support normal operations and are primarily due in the next twelve months.These purchase obligations and open purchase ordersare 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 rising interest rates and significant capital market volatility,which,along with increases in our borrowing levels,could increase our futureborrowing costs.23Table 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,rising interest rates,and recessionary fears may impact customer demand and our ability to forecast consumer spending patterns.We alsoexpect the current macroeconomic environment and enterprise customer cost optimization efforts to impact our AWS revenue growth rates.We expect some orall of these factors to continue to impact our operations into Q3 2023.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

grossmargin due to the diversity of our product categories and services.The North America operating income in Q2 2023 and for the six months ended June 30,2023,as compared to the operating loss in the comparable prioryear periods,is primarily due to increased unit sales and increased advertising sales,partially offset by increased technology and infrastructure costs,increasedshipping and fulfillment costs,and growth in certain operating expenses.Changes in foreign exchange rates negatively impacted operating income by$7million for Q2 2023,and positively impacted operating income by$34 million for the six months ended June 30,2023.The decrease in International operating loss in absolute dollars in Q2 2023 and for the six months ended June 30,2023,compared to the comparable prioryear periods,is primarily due to increased unit sales and increased advertising sales,partially offset by increased fulfillment and shipping costs,increasedtechnology and infrastructure costs,and growth in certain operating expenses.Changes in foreign exchange rates positively impacted operating loss by$32 million for Q2 2023,and negatively impacted operating loss by$142 million for the six months ended June 30,2023.The decrease in AWS operating income in absolute dollars in Q2 2023 and for the six months ended June 30,2023,compared to the comparable prioryear periods,is primarily due to increased payroll and related expenses and spending on technology infrastructure,both of which were primarily driven byadditional investments to support AWS business growth,partially offset by increased

expense(income),net0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 Cost of SalesCost of sales primarily consists of the purchase price of 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 absolute dollars in Q2 2023 and for the six months ended June 30,2023,compared to the comparable prior year periods,is primarily due to increased product and shipping costs resulting from increased sales,partially offset by fulfillment network efficiencies.Changes in foreignexchange rates reduced cost of sales by$208 million for Q2 2023,and by$1.8 billion for the six months ended June 30,2023.Shipping costs to receive products from our suppliers are included in our inventory and recognized as cost of sales upon sale of products to ourcustomers.Shipping costs,which include sortation and delivery centers and transportation costs,were$19.3 billion and$20.5 billion in Q2 2022 and Q2 2023,and$38.9 billion and$40.4 billion for the six months ended June 30,2022 and 2023.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 processing26Table of Contentsand related transaction costs are included in“Fulfillment,”AWS costs are primarily classified as“Technology and infrastructure.”Fulfillment costs as apercentage of net sales may vary due to several factors,such as payment processing and related transaction costs,our level of productivity and accuracy,changes in volume,size,and weight of units received and fulfilled,the extent to which third-party sellers utilize Fulfillment by Amazon services,timing offulfillment network and physical store expansion,the extent we utilize fulfillment services provided by third parties,mix of products and services sold,and ourability to affect customer service contacts per unit by implementing improvements in our operations and enhancements to our customer self-service features.Additionally,sales by our sellers have higher payment processing and related transaction costs as a percentage of net sales compared to our retail sales becausepayment processing costs are based on the gross purchase price of underlying transactions.The increase in fulfillment costs in absolute dollars in Q2 2023 and for the six months ended June 30,2023,compared to the comparable prior yearperiods,is primarily due to increased sales,partially offset by fulfillment network efficiencies.Changes in foreign exchange rates reduced fulfillment costs by$35 million for Q2 2023,and by$431 million for the six months ended June 30,2023.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 increase in technology and infrastructure costs in absolute dollars in Q2 2023 and for the six months ended June 30,2023,compared to the comparable prior year periods,is primarily due to increased payroll and related costs associated with technical teams responsible forexpanding our existing products and services and initiatives to introduce new products and service offerings,and an increase in spending on infrastructure.Changes in foreign exchange rates reduced technology and infrastructure costs by$95 million for Q2 2023,and by$399 million for the six months ended June30,2023.See Item 7 of Part II,“Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Overview”of our 2022 AnnualReport on Form 10-K for a discussion of how management views advances in technology and the importance 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,social andonline advertising,third-party customer referrals,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 increase in sales and marketing costs in absolute dollars in Q2 2023 and for the six months ended June 30,2023,compared to the comparable prioryear periods,is primarily due to increased payroll and related expenses for personnel engaged in marketing and selling activities.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 increase in general and administrative costs in absolute dollars in Q2 2023 and for the six months ended June 30,2023,compared to the comparableprior year periods,is primarily due to an increase in payroll and related expenses.27Table of ContentsOther Operating Expense(Income),NetOther operating expense(income),net was$90 million and$146 million for Q2 2022 and Q2 2023,and$339 million and$369 million for the sixmonths ended June 30,2022 and 2023,and was primarily related to asset impairments for physical store closures in 2022 and for fulfillment network facilitiesin 2023,and the amortization of intangible assets.Interest Income and ExpenseOur interest income was$159 million and$661 million during Q2 2022 and Q2 2023,and$267 million and$1.3 billion for the six months ended June30,2022 and 2023,primarily due to an increase in prevailing rates.We generally invest our excess cash in AAA-rated money market funds and investmentgrade short-to intermediate-term marketable debt securities.Our interest income corresponds with the average balance of invested funds based on theprevailing rates,which vary depending on the geographies and currencies in which they are invested.Interest expense was$584 million and$840 million during Q2 2022 and Q2 2023,and$1.1 billion and$1.7 billion for the six months ended June 30,2022 and 2023,and was primarily related to debt and finance leases.See Item

2023,and$(11.5)billion and$(280)million for the six months ended June 30,2022 and 2023,from our equity investment inRivian.Income TaxesOur income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30,2022 was$2.1 billion,which included$3.2 billion of net discrete tax benefits primarilyattributable to a valuation loss related to our equity investment in Rivian.Our income tax provision for the six months ended June 30,2023 was$1.8 billion,which included$306 million of net discrete tax benefits.See Item 1 of Part I,“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

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

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(unaudited)Note 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SUPPLEMENTAL 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 2023 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 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.Prior Period ReclassificationsCertain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.“Other operating expense(income),net”wasreclassified into“Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and capitalized content costs,operating lease assets,and other”on our consolidatedstatements 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.For the nine months ended September 30,2023,we recorded approximately$500 million of estimated severance costs primarily related to planned roleeliminations.These charges were recorded primarily in“Technology and infrastructure,”“Sales and marketing,”and“General and administrative”on ourconsolidated statements of operations and included approximately$280 million recorded within our AWS segment.For the nine months ended September 30,2022 and 2023,we recorded approximately$350 million and$420 million of impairments of property andequipment and operating leases primarily related to physical stores in 2022 and fulfillment network facilities and physical stores in 2023.These charges wererecorded in“Other operating expense(income),net”on our consolidated statements of operations and primarily impacted our North America segment.For thenine months ended September 30,2022 and 2023,we also recorded expenses of approximately$300 million and$200 million primarily in“Fulfillment”in2022 and“Cost of sales”and“Fulfillment”in 2023,on our consolidated statements of operations primarily relating to terminating contracts for certain leasesnot yet commenced as well as other purchase commitments,which primarily impacted our North America segment.7Table of ContentsSupplemental Cash Flow InformationThe following

shares.Diluted earnings per share is calculated using ourweighted-average 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

Automotive,Inc.(“Rivian”).Our investment in Rivians preferred stock was accounted for at cost,with adjustments for observable changes in prices or impairments,prior toRivians initial public offering in November 2021,which resulted in the conversion of our preferred stock to Class A common stock.As of September 30,2023,we held 158 million shares of Rivians Class A common stock,representing an approximate 17%ownership interest,and an approximate 15%voting interest.We determined that we have the ability to exercise significant influence over Rivian through our equity investment,our commercial arrangement for thepurchase of electric vehicles,and one of our employees serving on8Table of ContentsRivians board of directors.We elected the fair value option to account for our equity investment in Rivian,which is included in“Marketable securities”on ourconsolidated balance sheets,and had a fair value of$2.9 billion and$3.8 billion as of December 31,2022 and September 30,2023.The investment was subjectto regulatory sales restrictions resulting in a discount for lack of marketability of approximately$800 million as of December 31,2021,which expired in Q12022.Required summarized financial information of Rivian as disclosed in its most recent SEC filings is as follows(in millions):Six Months Ended June 30,20222023Revenues$459$1,782 Gross profit(1,206)(947)Loss from operations(3,287)(2,718)Net loss(3,305)(2,544)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$2.8 billion and$2.6 billion as of December 31,2022 and September 30,2023.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 31,2022 and September 30,2023,customer receivables,net,were$26.6 billion and$28.1 billion,vendor receivables,net,were$6.9 billion and$6.3 billion,seller receivables,net,were$1.3 billion and$1.2 billion,and other receivables,net,were$3.1 billion and$2.5 billion.Seller receivables are amounts due from sellers related to our seller lending program,which provides funding to sellersprimarily to procure inventory.Prepaid expenses and other current assets were$4.5 billion and$5.3 billion as of December 31,2022 and September 30,2023.We estimate losses on receivables based on expected losses,including our historical experience of actual losses.The allowance for doubtful accounts was$1.4 billion and$1.5 billion as of December 31,2022 and September 30,2023.Digital Video and Music ContentThe total capitalized costs of video,which is primarily released content,and music as of December 31,2022 and September 30,2023 were$16.7 billionand$18.0 billion.The weighted average remaining life of our capitalized video content is 3.6 years.Total video and music expense was$4.2 billion and$4.6billion in Q3 2022 and Q3 2023,and$11.4 billion and$13.0 billion for the nine months ended September 30,2022 and 2023.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 31,2022 was$16.1 billion,of which$10.9 billion was recognized as revenue during the nine months ended September 30,2023.Included in“Other long-termliabilities”on our consolidated balance sheets was$2.9 billion and$2.7 billion of unearned revenue as of December 31,2022 and September 30,2023.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$133.0 billion as of September 30,2023.The weighted-average remaining life of our long-term contracts is 3.5 years.However,the amountand timing of revenue recognition is largely driven by customer usage,which can extend beyond the original contractual term.9Table of ContentsAcquisition ActivityOn February 22,2023,we acquired 1Life Healthcare,Inc.(“One Medical”),for cash consideration of approximately$3.5 billion,net of cash acquired,toprovide health care options for customers.The acquired assets primarily consist of$1.3 billion of intangible assets and$2.5 billion of goodwill,which isallocated to our North America segment.Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of the One Medical acquisition were not material to our consolidated resultsof operations.Acquisition-related costs were expensed as incurred and were not significant.In August 2022,we entered into an agreement to acquire iRobot Corporation,as amended in July 2023,for approximately$1.7 billion,including its debt,subject to customary closing conditions.We expect to fund this acquisition with cash on hand.Note 2 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSCash,Cash Equivalents,Restricted Cash,and Marketable SecuritiesAs of December 31,2022 and September 30,2023,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.We did not hold significant amounts of marketable securitiescategorized as Level 3 assets as of December 31,2022 and September 30,2023.10Table 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

lease arrangements that are under construction.(4)Excludes approximately$5.0 billion of accrued tax contingencies for which we cannot make a reasonably reliable estimate of the amount and period ofpayment,if any.13Table of ContentsOther 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 relate to(i)the taxability of products and services,including cross-border intercompany transactions,(ii)collection and withholding ontransactions with third parties,and(iii)the adequacy of compliance with reporting obligations,including evolving documentation requirements.Due to theinherent complexity and uncertainty of these matters and the judicial and regulatory processes in certain jurisdictions,the final outcome of any suchcontroversies 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 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K and inItem 1 of Part I,“Financial Statements Note 4 Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings”of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for theperiods ended March 31,2023 and June 30,2023,as supplemented by the following:Beginning in June 2019 with Wilcosky v.A,Inc.,now pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois(“N.D.Ill.”),private litigants have filed a number of cases in U.S.federal and state courts,including Hogan v.A,Inc.(N.D.Ill.),alleging,among otherthings,that Amazons collection,storage,use,retention,and protection of biometric identifiers violated the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act.Thecomplaints allege purported classes of Illinois residents who had biometric identifiers collected through Amazon products or services,including AmazonPhotos,Alexa,AWS cloud services,Ring,Amazon Connect,Amazons Flex driver app,and Amazons virtual try-on technology.The complaints seekcertification as class actions,unspecified amounts of damages,injunctive relief,attorneys fees,costs,and interest.We dispute the allegations of wrongdoingand intend to defend ourselves vigorously in these matters.Beginning in March 2020,with Frame-Wilson v.A,Inc.filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington(“W.D.Wash.”),private litigants have filed a number of cases in the U.S.and Canada alleging,among other things,price fixing arrangements betweenA,Inc.and vendors and third-party sellers in Amazons stores,monopolization and attempted monopolization,and consumer protection and unjustenrichment claims.Attorneys General for the District of Columbia and California brought similar suits in May 2021 and September 2022 in the Superior Courtof the District of Columbia and the California Superior Court for the County of San Francisco,respectively.Some of the private cases include allegations ofseveral distinct purported classes,including consumers who purchased a product through Amazons stores and consumers who purchased a product offered byAmazon through another e-commerce retailer.The complaints seek billions of dollars of alleged damages,treble damages,punitive damages,injunctive relief,civil penalties,attorneys fees,and costs.The Federal Trade Commission(“FTC”)and a number of state Attorneys General filed a similar lawsuit in September2023 in the W.D.Wash.alleging violations of federal antitrust and state antitrust and consumer protection laws.That complaint alleges,among other things,that Amazon has a monopoly in markets for online superstores and marketplace services,and unlawfully maintains those monopolies through anticompetitivepractices relating to our pricing policies,advertising practices,the structure of Prime,and promotion of our own products on our website.The complaint seeksinjunctive and structural relief,an unspecified amount of damages,and costs.Amazons motions to dismiss were granted in part and denied in part in Frame-Wilson in March 2022 and March 2023,De Coster v.A,Inc.(W.D.Wash.)in January 2023,and the California Attorney Generals lawsuit in March2023.All three courts dismissed claims alleging that Amazons pricing policies are inherently illegal and denied dismissal of claims alleging that Amazonspricing policies are an unlawful restraint of trade.In March 2022,the DC Superior Court dismissed the DC Attorney Generals lawsuit in its entirety;thedismissal is under appeal.We dispute the allegations of wrongdoing and intend to defend ourselves vigorously in these matters.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 the14Table of Contentsamounts 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 September 30,2023,we had$66.5 billion of unsecured senior notes

September 30,2023.Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears.We may redeem the Notes at any time in whole,or from time to time,in part at specifiedredemption prices.We are not subject to any financial covenants under the Notes.The estimated fair value of the Notes was approximately$61.4 billion and$56.7 billion as of December 31,2022 and September 30,2023,which is based on quoted prices for our debt as of those dates.In January 2023,we entered into an$8.0 billion unsecured 364-day term loan with a syndicate of lenders(the“Term Loan”),which matures in January2024 and bears interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate specified in the Term Loan plus 0.75%.If we exercise our option to extend the Term Loansmaturity to January 2025,the interest rate spread will increase from 0.75%to 1.05%.As of September 30,2023,$5.0 billion of the Term Loan was outstanding,which was included in“Accrued expenses and other”on our consolidated balance sheets and had an interest rate of 6.2%.We have a$1.5 billion secured revolving credit facility with a lender that is secured by certain seller receivables,which we may from time to timeincrease in the future subject to lender approval(the“Credit Facility”).The Credit Facility is available until August 2025,bears interest based on the dailySecured Overnight Financing Rate plus 1.25%,and has a commitment fee of up to 0.45%on the undrawn portion.There were$1.0 billion and$972 million ofborrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility as of December 31,2022 and September 30,2023,which had an interest rate of 5.6%and 6.6%,respectively.As of December 31,2022 and September 30,2023,we have pledged$1.2 billion and$1.1 billion of our cash and seller receivables as collateral for debt relatedto our Credit Facility.The estimated fair value of the Credit Facility,which is based on Level 2 inputs,approximated its carrying value as of December 31,2022 and September 30,2023.We have U.S.Dollar and Euro commercial paper programs(the“Commercial Paper Programs”)under which we may from time to time issue unsecuredcommercial paper up to a total of$20.0 billion(including up to 3.0 billion)at the date of issue,with individual maturities that may vary but will not exceed397 days from the date of issue.There were$6.8 billion and$567 million of borrowings outstanding under the Commercial Paper Programs as ofDecember 31,2022 and September 30,2023,which were included in“Accrued expenses and other”on our consolidated balance sheets and had a weighted-average effective interest rate,including issuance costs,of 4.5%and 5.1%,respectively.We use the net proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper forgeneral corporate purposes.We have a$10.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders(the“Credit Agreement”),with a term that extends to March 2025.It may be extended for up to three additional one-year terms if approved by the lenders.The15Table of Contentsinterest rate applicable to outstanding balances under the Credit 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 of the credit facility.There were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement as ofDecember 31,2022 and September 30,2023.We have a$10.0 billion unsecured 364-day revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders(the“Short-Term Credit Agreement”),which matures inNovember 2023 and may be extended for one additional period of 364 days if approved by the lenders.The interest rate applicable to outstanding balancesunder the Short-Term Credit Agreement is the Secured Overnight Financing Rate specified in the Short-Term Credit Agreement plus 0.45%,with acommitment fee of 0.05%on the undrawn portion.There were no borrowings outstanding under the Short-Term Credit Agreement as of December 31,2022and September 30,2023.We also utilize other short-term credit facilities for working capital purposes.There were$1.2 billion and$166 million of borrowings outstanding underthese facilities as of December 31,2022 and September 30,2023,which were included in“Accrued expenses and other”on our consolidated balance sheets.Inaddition,we had$7.8 billion of unused letters of credit as of September 30,2023.Note 6 STOCKHOLDERS EQUITYStock Repurchase ActivityIn March 2022,the Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to$10.0 billion of our common stock,with no fixed expiration,whichreplaced the previous$5.0 billion stock repurchase authorization,approved by the Board of Directors in February 2016.We repurchased 46.2 million shares ofour common stock for$6.0 billion during the nine months ended September 30,2022 under these programs.There were no repurchases of our common stockduring the nine months ended September 30,2023.As of September 30,2023,we have$6.1 billion remaining under the repurchase program.Stock Award ActivityCommon shares outstanding plus shares underlying outstanding stock awards totaled 10.6 billion and 10.8 billion as of December 31,2022 andSeptember 30,2023.These totals include all vested and

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.17Table of ContentsFor 2023,we estimate that our effective tax rate will be favorably impacted by the foreign income deduction and U.S.federal research and developmentcredit and adversely affected by state income taxes.In addition,valuation gains and losses from our equity investment in Rivian impact our pre-tax income andmay cause variability in our effective tax rate.Our income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30,2022 was$2.0 billion,which included$3.3 billion of net discrete tax benefits primarilyattributable to a valuation loss related to our equity investment in Rivian.Our income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30,2023 was$4.1billion,which included$175 million of net discrete tax expense,primarily consisting of discrete tax expense related to shortfalls from stock-basedcompensation and approximately$600 million of tax benefit resulting from a change in the estimated qualifying expenditures associated with our 2022 U.S.federal R&D credit.Cash paid for income taxes,net of refunds was$742 million and$2.6 billion in Q3 2022 and Q3 2023,and$4.3 billion and$7.0 billion for the ninemonths ended September 30,2022 and 2023.As of December 31,2022 and September 30,2023,tax contingencies were approximately$4.0 billion and$5.0 billion.Changes in tax laws,regulations,administrative practices,principles,and interpretations may impact our tax contingencies.Due to various factors,including the inherent complexities anduncertainties of the judicial,administrative,and regulatory processes in certain jurisdictions,the timing of the resolution of income tax controversies is highlyuncertain,and the amounts ultimately paid,if any,upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ from the amounts accrued.It isreasonably possible that within the next twelve months we will receive additional assessments by various tax authorities or possibly reach resolution of incometax controversies in one or more jurisdictions.These assessments or settlements could result in changes to our contingencies related to positions on prior yearstax 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 in the Indian courts,and we expect to recoup taxes paid.If this matter is adversely resolved,we could recognize significant additional tax expense,including for taxes previously paid.In October 2014,the European Commission opened a formal investigation to examine whether decisions by the tax authorities in Luxembourg withregard to the corporate income tax paid by certain of our subsidiaries comply with European Union rules on state aid.On October 4,2017,the EuropeanCommission announced its decision that determinations by the tax authorities in Luxembourg did not comply with European Union rules on state aid.Based onthat decision,the European Commission announced an estimated recovery amount of approximately 250 million,plus interest,for the period May 2006through June 2014,and ordered Luxembourg tax authorities to calculate the actual amount of additional taxes subject to recovery.Luxembourg computed aninitial recovery amount,consistent with the European Commissions decision,which we deposited into escrow in March 2018,subject to adjustment pendingconclusion of all appeals.In December 2017,Luxembourg appealed the European Commissions decision.In May 2018,we appealed.On May 12,2021,theEuropean Union General Court annulled the European Commissions state aid decision.In July 2021,the European Commission appealed the decision to theEuropean Court of Justice.We will continue to defend ourselves vigorously in this matter.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 AWS18Table of Contentssegment based on usage.There are no internal revenue transactions between our reportable segments.These segments reflect the way our chief operatingdecision maker evaluates the Companys business performance and manages its operations.North AmericaThe North America segment primarily consists of amounts earned

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 2022 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 September 30,2023,we would have recordedan additional cost of sales of approximately$375 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 to21Table 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

and our cash,cash equivalents,and marketable securities balances,which,atfair value,were$70.0 billion and$64.2 billion as of December 31,2022 and September 30,2023.Amounts held in foreign currencies were$18.3 billion and$13.7 billion as of December 31,2022 and September 30,2023.Our foreign currency balances include British Pounds,Canadian Dollars,Euros,IndianRupees,and Japanese Yen.Cash provided by(used in)operating activities was$11.4 billion and$21.2 billion for Q3 2022 and Q3 2023,and$17.6 billion and$42.5 billion for thenine months ended September 30,2022 and 2023.Our operating cash flows result primarily from cash received from our consumer,seller,developer,enterprise,and content creator customers,and advertisers,offset by cash payments we make for products and services,employee compensation,paymentprocessing and related transaction costs,operating leases,and interest payments.Cash received from our customers and other activities generally correspondsto our net sales.The increase in operating cash flow for the trailing twelve months ended September 30,2023,compared to the comparable prior year period,was due to an increase in net income(loss),excluding non-cash expenses,and changes in working capital.Working capital at any specific point in time issubject to many variables,including variability in demand,inventory management and category expansion,the timing of cash receipts and payments,customerand vendor payment terms,and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.Cash provided by(used in)investing activities corresponds with cash capital expenditures,including leasehold improvements,incentives received fromproperty and equipment vendors,proceeds from asset sales,cash outlays for acquisitions,investments in other companies and intellectual property rights,andpurchases,sales,and maturities of marketable securities.Cash provided by(used in)investing activities was$(15.6)billion and$(11.8)billion for Q3 2022 andQ3 2023,and$(26.8)billion and$(37.2)billion for the nine months ended September 30,2022 and 2023,with the variability caused primarily by purchases,sales,and maturities of marketable securities and cash capital expenditures.Cash capital expenditures were$15.0 billion and$11.3 billion during Q3 2022 andQ3 2023,and$42.9 billion and$34.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30,2022 and 2023,which primarily reflect investments in technologyinfrastructure(the majority of which is to support AWS business growth)and in additional capacity to support our fulfillment network.We expect cash capitalexpenditures to decrease in 2023,primarily due to lower spending on our fulfillment network.We made cash payments,net of acquired cash,related toacquisition and other investment activity of$885 million and$1.6 billion during Q3 2022 and Q3 2023,and$7.5 billion and$5.5 billion for the nine monthsended September 30,2022 and 2023.We funded the acquisitions of22Table of ContentsMGM Holdings Inc.in 2022 and One Medical in 2023 with cash on hand.We expect to fund the acquisition of iRobot Corporation with cash on hand.In Q32023,we invested$1.25 billion in a note from Anthropic,PBC,which is convertible into equity.We have an agreement that expires in Q1 2024 to invest up toan additional$2.75 billion in a second convertible note.Cash provided by(used in)financing activities was$3.0 billion and$(8.9)billion for Q3 2022 and Q3 2023,and$9.6 billion and$(9.1)billion for thenine months ended September 30,2022 and 2023.Cash inflows from financing activities resulted from proceeds from short-term debt,and other and long-termdebt of$12.4 billion and$216 million for Q3 2022 and Q3 2023,and$43.9 billion and$17.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30,2022 and 2023.Cash outflows from financing activities resulted from repurchases of common stock in 2022,payments of short-term debt,and other,long-term debt,financeleases,and financing obligations of$9.4 billion and$9.2 billion in Q3 2022 and Q3 2023,and$34.2 billion and$26.5 billion for the nine months endedSeptember 30,2022 and 2023.Property and equipment acquired under finance leases was$131 million and$183 million during Q3 2022 and Q3 2023,and$358 million and$431 million for the nine months ended September 30,2022 and 2023.We had no borrowings outstanding under the two unsecured revolving credit facilities,$567 million of borrowings outstanding under the commercialpaper programs,$972 million of borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility,and$5.0 billion of borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan as ofSeptember 30,2023.See Item 1 of Part I,“Financial Statements Note 5 Debt”for additional information.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.As a result,weexpect the cash taxes we pay in 2023 to increase significantly.Cash taxes paid(net of refunds)were$742 million and$2.6 billion for Q3 2022 and Q3 2023,and$4.3 billion and$7.0 billion for the nine months ended September 30,2022 and 2023.As of December 31,2022 and September 30,2023,restricted cash,cash equivalents,and marketable securities were$365 million and$476 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 rising interest rates and significant capital market volatility,which,along with increases in our borrowing levels,could increase our futureborrowing costs.23Table 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,rising interest rates,and recessionary fears may impact customer demand and our ability to forecast consumer spending patterns.We alsoexpect the current macroeconomic environment and enterprise customer cost optimization efforts to impact our AWS revenue growth rates.We expect some orall of these factors to continue to impact our operations into Q4 2023.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 EndedSeptember 30,Nine Months

Foreign Exchange Rates”below.North America sales increased 11%in Q3 2023,and 11%for the nine months ended September 30,2023 compared to the comparable prior year periods.The sales growth primarily reflects increased unit sales,primarily by third-party sellers,advertising sales,and subscription services.Increased unit sales weredriven largely by our continued focus on price,selection,and convenience for our customers,including from our shipping offers.24Table of ContentsInternational sales increased 16%in Q3 2023,and 9%for the nine months ended September 30,2023 compared to the

more meaningful measure than grossprofit and gross margin due to the diversity of our product categories and services.The North America operating income in Q3 2023,as compared to the operating loss in the comparable prior year period,is primarily due to increasedunit sales and increased advertising sales,partially offset by increased shipping and fulfillment costs.The North America operating income

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 absolute dollars in Q3 2023 and for the nine months ended September 30,2023,compared to the comparable prior yearperiods,is primarily due to increased product and shipping costs resulting from increased sales,partially offset by fulfillment network efficiencies and lowertransportation rates.Changes in foreign exchange rates increased cost of sales by$818 million for Q3 2023,and reduced cost of sales by$1.0 billion for thenine months ended September 30,2023.Shipping costs to receive products from our suppliers are included in our inventory and recognized as cost of sales upon sale of products to ourcustomers.Shipping costs,which include sortation and delivery centers and transportation costs,were$19.9 billion and$21.8 billion in Q3 2022 and Q3 2023,and$58.8 billion and$62.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30,2022 and 2023.We expect our cost of shipping to continue to increase to theextent our customers accept and use our shipping offers at an increasing rate,we use more expensive shipping methods,and we offer additional services.Weseek to mitigate costs of shipping over time in part through achieving higher sales volumes,optimizing our fulfillment network,negotiating better terms withour suppliers,and achieving better operating efficiencies.We believe that offering low prices to our customers is fundamental to our future success,and oneway we 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 processing26Table of Contentsand related transaction costs are included in“Fulfillment,”AWS costs are primarily classified as“Technology and infrastructure.”Fulfillment costs as apercentage of net sales may vary due to several factors,such as payment processing and related transaction costs,our level of productivity and accuracy,changes in volume,size,and weight of units received and fulfilled,the extent to which third-party sellers utilize Fulfillment by Amazon services,timing offulfillment network and physical store expansion,the extent we utilize fulfillment services provided by third parties,mix of products and services sold,and ourability to affect customer service contacts per unit by implementing improvements in our operations and enhancements to our customer self-service features.Additionally,sales by our sellers have higher payment processing and related transaction costs as a percentage of net sales compared to our retail sales becausepayment processing costs are based on the gross purchase price of underlying transactions.The increase in fulfillment costs in absolute dollars in Q3 2023 and for the nine months ended September 30,2023,compared to the comparable prioryear periods,is primarily due to increased sales,partially offset by fulfillment network efficiencies.Changes in foreign exchange rates increased fulfillmentcosts by$249 million for Q3 2023,and reduced fulfillment costs by$182 million for the nine months ended September 30,2023.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 increase in technology and infrastructure costs in absolute dollars in Q3 2023,compared to the comparable prioryear period,is primarily due to an increase in spending on infrastructure.The increase in technology and infrastructure costs in absolute dollars for the ninemonths ended September 30,2023,compared to the comparable prior year period,is primarily due to increased payroll and related costs associated withtechnical teams responsible for expanding our existing products and services and initiatives to introduce new products and service offerings,and an increase inspending on infrastructure.Changes in foreign exchange rates increased technology and infrastructure costs by$87 million for Q3 2023,and reducedtechnology and infrastructure costs by$312 million for the nine months ended September 30,2023.See Item 7 of Part II,“Managements Discussion andAnalysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Overview”of our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of how management viewsadvances in technology and the importance 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,social andonline advertising,third-party customer referrals,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 absolute dollars in Q3 2023,compared to the comparable prior year period,is primarily due to lowermarketing spend.The increase in sales and marketing costs in absolute dollars for the nine months ended September 30,2023,compared to the comparableprior year period,is primarily due to increased payroll and related expenses for personnel engaged in marketing and selling activities.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.27Table of ContentsGeneral and AdministrativeThe decrease in general and administrative costs in absolute dollars in Q3 2023,compared to the comparable prior year period,is primarily due to adecrease in payroll and related expenses.The increase in general and administrative costs in absolute dollars for the nine months ended September 30,2023,compared to the comparable prior year

2023,and$504 million and$613 million for the ninemonths ended September 30,2022 and 2023,and was primarily related to asset impairments for physical store closures in 2022 and for fulfillment networkfacilities and physical store closures in 2023,and the amortization of intangible assets.Interest Income and ExpenseOur interest income was$277 million and$776 million during Q3 2022 and Q3 2023,and$544 million and$2.0 billion for the nine months endedSeptember 30,2022 and 2023,primarily due to an increase in prevailing rates.We generally invest our excess cash in AAA-rated money market funds andinvestment grade short-to intermediate-term marketable debt securities.Our interest income corresponds with the average balance of invested funds based onthe prevailing rates,which vary depending on the geographies and currencies in which they are invested.Interest expense was$617 million and$806 million during Q3 2022 and Q3 2023,and$1.7 billion and$2.5 billion for the nine months ended September30,2022 and 2023,and was primarily related to debt and finance leases.See Item 1 of Part I,“Financial Statements Note 3 Leases and Note 5 Debt”for additional information.Other

primary components of other income(expense),net are related to equity securities valuations and adjustments,equitywarrant valuations,and foreign currency.Included in other income(expense),net is a marketable equity securities valuation gain(loss)of$1.1 billion and$1.2billion in Q3 2022 and Q3 2023,and$(10.4)billion and$926 million for the nine months ended September 30,2022 and 2023,from our equity investment inRivian.Income TaxesOur income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30,2022 was$2.0 billion,which included$3.3 billion of net discrete tax benefits primarilyattributable to a valuation loss related to our equity investment in Rivian.Our income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30,2023 was$4.1billion,which included$175 million of net discrete tax expense.See Item 1 of Part I,“Financial Statements Note 7 Income Taxes”for additionalinformation.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.28Table of ContentsFree Cash FlowFree cash flow is cash flow from operations reduced by“Purchases of

Agency(“FHFA”)acting as conservator,since September 6,2008.As conservator,FHFA succeeded to all rights,titles,powers and privileges of the company,and of any shareholder,officer or director of the company with respect to the company and its assets.The conservator has since provided for the exercise of certain functions and authorities by our Board of Directors.Our directors owe their fiduciary duties of care and loyalty solely to the conservator.Thus,while we are in conservatorship,the Board has no fiduciary duties to the company or its stockholders.We do not know when or how the conservatorship will terminate,what further changes to our business will be made during or following conservatorship,what form we will have and what ownership interest,if any,our current common and preferred stockholders will hold in us after the conservatorship is terminated or whether we will continue to exist following conservatorship.We are not currently permitted to pay dividends or other distributions to stockholders.Our agreements with the U.S.Department of the Treasury(“Treasury”)include a commitment from Treasury to provide us with funds to maintain a positive net worth under specified conditions;however,the U.S.government does not guarantee our securities or other obligations.Our agreements with Treasury also include covenants that significantly restrict our business activities.For additional information on the conservatorship,the uncertainty of our future,and our agreements with Treasury,see“BusinessConservatorship and Treasury Agreements”and“Risk FactorsGSE and Conservatorship Risk”in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,2022(“2022 Form 10-K”).You should read this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

of financing for mortgages in the United States.Organized as a government-sponsored enterprise,Fannie Mae is a shareholder-owned corporation.We were chartered by Congress to provide liquidity and stability to the residential mortgage market and to promote access to mortgage credit.Our revenues are primarily driven by guaranty fees we receive for assuming the credit risk on loans underlying the mortgage-backed securities we issue.We do not originate mortgage loans or lend money directly to borrowers.Rather,we work primarily with lenders who originate mortgage loans to borrowers.We acquire and securitize those loans into mortgage-backed securities that we guarantee(which we refer to as Fannie Mae MBS or our MBS).MD&A|IntroductionFannie Mae Second Quarter 2023 Form 10-Q1Executive SummarySummary of Our Financial PerformanceQuarterly Condensed Consolidated Results(Dollars in billions)$7.9$7.1$4.7$5.0Net revenuesNet incomeQ2 2022Q2 2023Net revenues decreased$784 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared with the second quarter of 2022,primarily due to lower net amortization income,partially offset by higher income from portfolios.Lower amortization income was driven by a higher interest-rate environment in the second quarter of 2023,which significantly slowed refinancing activity,driving lower loan prepayment volumes compared with the second quarter of 2022.Higher income from portfolios was primarily driven by higher interest rates in the second quarter of 2023 than in the second quarter of 2022 on securities in our other investments portfolio.Net income increased$341 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared with the second quarter of 2022,driven primarily by a shift to benefit for credit losses in the second quarter of 2023 from provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2022,partially offset by a decrease in net revenues.Our benefit for credit losses in the second quarter of 2023 was driven primarily by increases in actual and forecasted single-family home prices.Net worth increased to$69.0 billion as of June 30,2023 from$64.0 billion as of March 31,2023.The increase is attributable to$5.0 billion of comprehensive income for the second quarter of 2023.MD&A|Executive SummaryFannie Mae Second Quarter 2023 Form 10-Q2Year-to-Date Condensed Consolidated Results(Dollars in billions)$15.4$14.0$9.1$8.8Net revenuesNet

RegulationThe information in this section updates and supplements information regarding legislative,regulatory,conservatorship and other developments affecting our business set forth in“BusinessConservatorship and Treasury Agreements”and“BusinessLegislation and Regulation”in our 2022 Form 10-K,as well as in“MD&ALegislation and Regulation”in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,2023(“First Quarter 2023 Form 10-Q”).Also see“Risk Factors”in our 2022 Form 10-K for discussions of risks relating to legislative and regulatory matters.Middle Class Borrower Protection Act of 2023On May 1,2023,Fannie Mae implemented changes to our single-family pricing framework that introduced redesigned and recalibrated upfront fee matrices for purchase,rate-term refinance,and cash-out refinance loans.These changes are described in“MD&ASingle-Family BusinessSingle-Family Business MetricsRecent and Future Price Changes”in our 2022 Form 10-K and“Single-Family BusinessSingle-Family Business MetricsRecent Price Changes”in this report.On June 23,2023,the House of Representatives passed the Middle Class Borrower Protection Act of 2023.If enacted,the bill would require the Director of FHFA to revise Fannie Mae and Freddie Macs(together,referred to as the“Enterprises”)single-family pricing framework to the version that was in effect immediately before May 1,2023,and to maintain the revised framework without further adjustment until 90 days after the Government Accountability Office submits a report to Congress on its analysis of the May 1,2023 pricing changes.After this period,the bill would restrict FHFAs authority to engage in future pricing changes,including prohibiting any loan-level pricing adjustments based on debt-to-income ratio and requiring FHFA to follow procedures similar to those required for a federal agency issuing a rule under the Administrative Procedure Act when proposing adjustments to the Enterprises single-family pricing framework.In addition,the bill would extend by one year(to October 1,2033)the Enterprises obligations under the Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011 to collect 10 basis points in guaranty fees on single-family residential mortgages delivered to us and pay the associated revenue to Treasury.A companion bill has been introduced in the Senate;however,as of the date of this filing,neither the House nor Senate bill has been considered by the Senate.If either bill is enacted,our single-family guaranty fees on new acquisitions could decline,which could adversely affect our revenues,our ability to improve our capital position and our ability to meet FHFAs minimum return on equity targets for single-family acquisitions.In addition,the changes in our pricing could significantly affect our single-family loan acquisition volumes,the credit risk profile of our single-family acquisitions,our competitive position,and the type and mix of loans we acquire.Single-Family Pricing Request for InputIn May 2023,FHFA issued a request for input(“RFI”)on the Enterprises single-family pricing framework.The RFI seeks public feedback on the goals and policy priorities that FHFA should pursue in its oversight of the pricing framework,as well as input on the process for setting the Enterprises single-family upfront guaranty fees.Specific topics on which FHFA requested input included,among other things,the appropriate long-term commercially reasonable return on capital threshold for the Enterprises to achieve,whether upfront guaranty fees should be eliminated,and whether risk-based pricing should be calibrated to the enterprise regulatory capital framework.As described in“Risk FactorsGSE and Conservatorship Risk”in our 2022 Form 10-K,FHFAs control over our guaranty fee pricing can constrain our ability to address changing market conditions,pursue certain strategic objectives,or manage the mix of loans we acquire.Multifamily Tenant Protections Request for InputIn May 2023,FHFA issued an RFI to gather input on tenant protections at multifamily properties with mortgages backed by the Enterprises.The RFI states that FHFA is soliciting public input on issues faced by tenants in multifamily properties,and on any opportunities and potential impacts associated with requiring or encouraging specific tenant protections at multifamily properties backed by the Enterprises.Stress TestingThe Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act(the“Dodd-Frank Act”)requires certain financial companies to conduct annual stress tests to determine whether the companies have the capital necessary to absorb losses as a result of adverse economic conditions.Under FHFA regulations implementing this requirement,each year we are required to conduct a stress test using two different scenarios of financial conditions provided by FHFAbaseline and severely adverseand to publish a summary of our stress test results for the severely adverse scenario by August 15.MD&A|Legislation and RegulationFannie Mae Second Quarter 2023 Form 10-Q4Following our publication of our 2022 stress test results on our website in August 2022,we discovered errors in a model we use to prepare our annual stress test results that affected these results for 2022 and prior years.We have completed our evaluation of the errors relating to our stress test results for 2018 to 2022.We have posted corrected 2022 and 2021 stress test results for the severely adverse scenario on our website.We posted 2022 results on June 12,2023 and 2021 results on July 27,2023.We determined the errors for 2018,2019 and 2020 were not material and therefore will not post revised stress test results for these years.Quality Control Standards for Automated Valuation Models Proposed RuleIn June 2023,FHFA and five other federal regulatory agencies issued a proposed rule to implement the quality control standards mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act for the use of automated valuation models(referred to as“AVMs”)by mortgage originators and secondary market issuers in determining the collateral worth of a mortgage secured by a consumers principal dwelling.Under the proposed rule,the agencies would require institutions that engage in certain credit decisions or securitization determinations to adopt policies,practices,procedures and control systems to:ensure that AVMs used to determine the value of mortgage collateral in these transactions adhere to quality control standards designed to ensure a high level of confidence in the estimates produced by AVMs;protect against the manipulation of data;seek to avoid conflicts of interest;require random sample testing and reviews;and comply with applicable nondiscrimination laws.Key Market Economic IndicatorsBelow we discuss how varying macroeconomic conditions can influence our financial results across different business and economic environments.Our forecasts and expectations are based on many assumptions,subject to many uncertainties and may change,perhaps substantially,from our current forecasts and expectations.See“Risk Factors”in our 2022 Form 10-K and“Forward-Looking Statements”in this report for a discussion of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our current forecasts and expectations.For further discussion on housing

Our Financial ResultsNet interest income.In a rising interest-rate environment,our mortgage loans generally prepay more slowly as borrowers are less likely to refinance.We amortize various cost basis adjustments over the life of the mortgage loan,including those relating to certain upfront fees we receive at the time we acquire single-family loans.As a result,prepayment of a loan results in an accelerated realization of those upfront fees as income.Therefore,as loan prepayments slow,the accelerated realization of amortization income also slows.Conversely,in a declining interest-rate environment,our mortgage loans generally prepay faster as borrowers are more likely to refinance,typically resulting in the opposite trend of higher amortization income from cost basis adjustments on mortgage loans.Interest rates also affect the amount of interest income we earn on our assets.Our other investments portfolio and our retained mortgage portfolio typically earn more interest income in a higher interest-rate environment and less interest income in a lower interest-rate environment,which,depending on the size of these portfolios,can impact the amount of interest income we recognize during the period.See“Consolidated Results of OperationsNet Interest Income”for a discussion of how interest rate changes impacted our financial results.Fair value gains(losses).We have exposure to fair value gains and losses resulting from changes in interest rates,primarily through our mortgage commitment derivatives and risk management derivatives,which we mark to market through earnings.Fair value gains and losses on our mortgage commitment derivatives fluctuate depending on how interest rates and prices move between the time a commitment is opened and when it settles.The net position and composition across the yield curve of our risk management derivatives changes over time.As a result,interest rate changes(increases or decreases)and yield curve changes(parallel,steepening or flattening shifts)will generate varying amounts of fair value gains or losses in a given period.For more information about fair value gains(losses),including the impact of hedge accounting,see“Consolidated Results of OperationsFair Value Gains,Net.”Benefit(provision)for credit losses.Increases in mortgage interest rates tend to lengthen the expected lives of our loans as borrowers are less likely to refinance,which generally increases the expected impairment and provision for credit losses on loans.Decreases in mortgage interest rates tend to shorten the expected lives of our loans as borrowers are more likely to refinance,which generally reduces the impairment and provision for credit losses on such loans.For more information on benefit(provision)for credit losses,see“Consolidated Results of OperationsBenefit(Provision)for Credit Losses.”Single-Family Quarterly Home Price Growth(Decline)Rate(1)5.4%(0.6)%(1.3)%1.4%3.6nnie Mae national home price index2Q223Q224Q221Q232Q23(1)Calculated internally using property data on loans purchased by Fannie Mae,Freddie Mac and other third-party home sales data.Fannie Maes home price index is a weighted repeat-transactions index,measuring average price changes in repeat sales on the same properties.Fannie Maes home price index excludes prices on properties sold in foreclosure.Fannie Maes home price estimates are based on non-seasonally adjusted preliminary data and are subject to change as additional data becomes available.How Home Prices Can Affect Our Financial ResultsActual and forecasted home prices impact our provision or benefit for credit losses as well as the growth and size of our guaranty book of business.Changes in home prices affect the amount of equity that borrowers have in their homes.Borrowers with less equity typically have higher delinquency and default rates,particularly in times of economic stress.MD&A|Key Market Economic IndicatorsFannie Mae Second Quarter 2023 Form 10-Q6As home prices increase,the severity of losses we incur on defaulted loans that we hold or guarantee decreases because the amount we can recover from the properties securing the loans increases.Declines in home prices increase the losses we incur on defaulted loans.As home prices rise,the principal balance of loans associated with newly acquired purchase loans may increase,causing growth in the size of our guaranty book.Additionally,rising home prices can increase the amount of equity borrowers have in their home,which may lead to an increase in origination volumes for cash-out refinance loans with higher principal balances than the existing loan.Replacing existing loans with newly acquired cash-out refinances can affect the growth and size of our guaranty book.Home prices on a national basis grew by 5.0%in the first half of 2023.We forecast home prices will decline in the second half of 2023;however,as a result of the strong home price growth in the first half of the year,we forecast national home price growth of 3.9%for the full year of 2023.We expect regional variation in home price changes.New Housing

Affect Our Financial ResultsHousing is among the most interest-rate sensitive sectors of the economy.In addition to interest rates,two key aspects of economic activity that can impact supply and demand for housing,and thus our business and financial results,are the rates of household formation and housing construction.Household formation is a key driver of demand for both single-family and multifamily housing as a newly formed household will either rent or purchase a home.Thus,changes in the pace of household formation can affect home prices,multifamily property values and credit performance as well as the degree of loss on defaulted loans.Growth of household formation stimulates homebuilding.Homebuilding has typically been a cyclical leader,weakening prior to a slowdown in U.S.economic activity and accelerating prior to a recovery,which contributes to the growth of U.S.gross domestic product(“GDP”)and employment.A decline in housing starts results in fewer new homes being available for purchase and potentially a lower volume of mortgage originations.Construction activity can also affect credit losses through its impact on home prices.If the growth of demand exceeds the growth of supply,prices will appreciate and impact the risk profile of newly originated home purchase mortgages,depending on where in the housing cycle the market is.A MD&A|Key Market Economic IndicatorsFannie Mae Second Quarter 2023 Form 10-Q7reduced pace of construction is often associated with a broader economic slowdown and may signal expected increases in delinquency and losses on defaulted loans.Although we expect continued increases in new home construction and new home sales over the short term,we expect total home sales to decrease due to a decline in sales of existing homes.We expect existing home sales to decline due to the reluctance of existing homeowners to give up their low mortgage rates and the likelihood of a recession beginning in the fourth quarter of 2023 or the first quarter of 2024.GDP,Unemployment Rate and Personal

based on the quarterly series calculated by the Bureau of Economic Analysis and are subject to revision.(2)According to the U.S.Bureau of Labor Statistics and subject to revision.How GDP,the Unemployment Rate and Personal Consumption Can Affect Our Financial ResultsChanges in GDP,the unemployment rate and personal consumption can affect several mortgage market factors,including the demand for both single-family and multifamily housing and the level of loan delinquencies,which impacts credit losses.Economic growth is a key factor for the performance of mortgage-related assets.In a growing economy,employment and income are typically rising,thus allowing borrowers to meet payment requirements,existing homeowners to consider purchasing and moving to another home,and renters to consider becoming homeowners.Homebuilding typically increases to meet the rise in demand.Mortgage delinquencies typically fall in an expanding economy,thereby decreasing credit losses.In a slowing economy,income growth and housing activity typically slow as an early indicator of reduced economic activity,followed by slowing employment.Typically,as an economic slowdown intensifies,households reduce their spending.This reduction in consumption then accelerates the slowdown.An economic slowdown can lead to employment losses,impairing the ability of borrowers and renters to meet mortgage and rental payments,thus causing loan delinquencies to rise.Home sales and mortgage originations also typically fall in a slowing economy.GDP increased in the first half of 2023.We expect that a modest recession is likely to occur beginning in the fourth quarter of 2023 or the first quarter of 2024,resulting in an increase in the unemployment rate.We expect our economic outlook will be influenced by a number of factors that are subject to change,such as the persistence of inflationary pressures,the speed at which expected monetary policy tightening is adjusted and the risk of further financial market disruptions.MD&A|Key Market Economic IndicatorsFannie Mae Second Quarter 2023 Form 10-Q8Stress in the banking sector,particularly for regional banks with significant exposure to commercial real

to us on or after April 1,2012 pursuant to the Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011 and as extended by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act,which we remit to Treasury.For more information on TCCA fees,see“Note 1,Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesRelated PartiesTransactions with Treasury”in our 2022 Form 10-K.(2)Consists of costs associated with our freestanding credit enhancements,which primarily include our Connecticut Avenue Securities(“CAS”)and Credit Insurance Risk TransferTM(“CIRTTM”)programs,enterprise-paid mortgage insurance and certain lender

property income(expense),gains and losses from partnership investments,housing trust fund expenses,loan subservicing costs,and servicer fees paid in connection with certain loss mitigation activities.Net Interest IncomeOur primary source of net interest income is guaranty fees we receive for managing the credit risk on loans underlying Fannie Mae MBS held by third parties.Guaranty fees consist of two primary components:base guaranty fees that we receive over the life of the loan;andupfront fees that we receive at the time of loan acquisition primarily related to single-family loan-level price adjustments and other fees we receive from lenders,which are amortized into net interest income as cost basis adjustments over the contractual life of the loan.We refer to this as amortization income.MD&A|Key Market Economic IndicatorsFannie Mae Second Quarter 2023 Form 10-Q9We recognize almost all of our guaranty fee revenue in net interest income because we consolidate the substantial majority of loans underlying our Fannie Mae MBS in consolidated trusts in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.Guaranty fees from these loans account for the difference between the interest income on loans in consolidated trusts and the interest expense on the debt of consolidated trusts.The timing of when we recognize the upfront fees received on loan acquisitions as amortization income can vary based on a number of factors,the most significant of which is a change in mortgage interest rates.Although we amortize these upfront fees over the contractual life of the mortgage loan,when a loan prepays,the remaining upfront fees on the loan are recognized as income in that period.As a result,in a declining interest-rate environment,our mortgage loans generally prepay faster as borrowers are more likely to refinance,typically resulting in higher amortization income as it accelerates the realization of those upfront fees as income.Conversely,in a rising interest-rate environment,our mortgage loans generally prepay more slowly as borrowers are less likely to refinance,which typically results in lower amortization income as those upfront fees are amortized over a longer period of time.We also recognize net interest income on the difference between interest income earned on the assets in our retained mortgage portfolio and our other investments portfolio(collectively,our“portfolios”)and the interest expense associated with the debt that funds those assets.See“Retained Mortgage Portfolio”and“Liquidity and Capital ManagementLiquidity ManagementOther Investments Portfolio”for more information about our portfolios.We recognize the effects of hedge accounting as a component of net interest income,as demonstrated in the table below.As of June 30,2023,we had$4.2 billion in net cumulative fair value hedge basis adjustments,which will be amortized as net expenses over the remaining contractual life of the respective hedged items in the“Income(expense)from hedge accounting”line item in the table below.The substantial majority of these hedge basis adjustments relate to our funding debt.See“Fair Value Gains,Net”below and“Note 8,Derivative Instruments”in this report for more information about our hedge accounting program,as well as“Note 1,Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”in our 2022 Form 10-K.MD&A|Consolidated

information on the effect of our fair value hedge accounting program and related disclosures.Net interest income decreased in the second quarter and first half of 2023 compared with the second quarter and first half of 2022,primarily as a result of lower net amortization income partially offset by higher income from portfolios.Lower net amortization income.Throughout the second quarter and first half of 2023,we were in a higher interest-rate environment and observed significantly lower volumes of refinancing activity compared with the second quarter and first half 2022,which drove fewer loan prepayments.As a result,we had lower amortization income in the second quarter and first half of 2023 compared with the second quarter and first half of 2022.MD&A|Consolidated Results of OperationsFannie Mae Second Quarter 2023 Form 10-Q11Higher income from portfolios.Higher income from portfolios in the second quarter and first half of 2023 compared with the second quarter and first half of 2022 was primarily driven by higher interest rates in the first half of 2023 than in the first half of 2022 on securities in our other investments portfolio,primarily U.S.Treasuries and securities purchased under agreements to resell.This was partially offset by higher interest expense on funding debt,also as a result of higher interest rates.See“Liquidity and Capital ManagementLiquidity ManagementOther Investments Portfolio”for more information about our other investments portfolio.We expect significantly lower amortization income in 2023 compared with 2022,driven by our expectation that refinancing activity will remain low,as we expect most single-family loans in our guaranty book of business will continue to have interest rates significantly lower than current market rates.However,we expect the decline in our amortization income in 2023 to be partially offset by higher interest income on our other investments portfolio.As of June 29,2023,the U.S.weekly average interest rate for a single-family 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was 6.71%,according to Freddie Macs Primary Mortgage Market Survey.Ninety percent of our single-family conventional guaranty book of business as of June 30,2023 had an interest rate below 5.50%,resulting in a low likelihood these loans would refinance at current rates.In addition,over 70%of our single-family conventional guaranty book of business as of June 30,2023 had an interest rate below 4.00%.Accordingly,even if interest rates decline meaningfully from current levels,most of the borrowers whose loans are in our single-family conventional guaranty book of business still would not be incentivized to refinance.Analysis of Net Interest IncomeThe table below displays an analysis of our net interest income,average balances and related yields earned on assets and incurred on liabilities.For most components of the average balances,we use a daily weighted average of unpaid principal balance net of unamortized cost basis adjustments.When daily average balance information is not available,such as for mortgage loans,we use monthly averages.Analysis of Net Interest Income and Yield(1)For the Three

derivatives,trading securities and other financial instruments carried at fair value may fluctuate substantially from period to period because of changes in interest rates,the yield curve,spreads and implied volatility,as well as activity related to these financial instruments.We apply fair value hedge accounting to reduce earnings volatility in our financial statements driven by changes in benchmark interest rates.Accordingly,we recognize the fair value gains and losses and the contractual interest income and expense associated with risk management derivatives designated in qualifying hedging relationships in net interest income.For more information about our hedge accounting program,see“Impact of Hedge Accounting on Fair Value Gains(Losses),Net”below and“Note 8,Derivative

second quarter of 2023 were primarily driven by gains on:risk management derivatives due to rising interest rates;andlong-term debt of consolidated trusts held at fair value due to rising interest rates and widening of the secondary spread,which is the spread between the 30-year MBS current coupon yield and 10-year U.S.Treasury rate.These gains were partially offset by losses on trading

experience volatility due to interest-rate changes and differing accounting treatments that apply to certain financial instruments on our balance sheet.To help address this volatility,we apply hedge accounting to reduce the current-period impact on our earnings related to changes in specified benchmark interest rates.Hedge accounting aligns the timing of when we recognize fair value changes in hedged items attributable to these benchmark interest-rate movements with fair value changes in the hedging instrument.For additional information on our hedge accounting program,see“Risk

Credit LossesOur benefit or provision for credit losses can vary substantially from period to period based on a number of factors,such as changes in actual and forecasted home prices or property valuations,fluctuations in actual and forecasted interest rates,borrower payment behavior,events such as natural disasters or pandemics,the types,volume and effectiveness of our loss mitigation activities,including forbearances and loan modifications,the volume of foreclosures completed and the volume and pricing of loans redesignated from held for investment(“HFI”)to held for sale(“HFS”).The benefit or provision for credit losses includes our benefit or provision for loan losses,accrued interest receivable losses,our guaranty loss reserves and credit losses on our available-for-sale(“AFS”)debt securities.Our benefit or provision for credit losses and our related loss reserves can also be impacted by updates to the models,assumptions and data used in determining our allowance for loan losses.Although we believe the estimates underlying our allowance as of June 30,2023 are reasonable,they are subject to uncertainty.Changes in future economic conditions and loan performance from our current expectations may result in volatility in our allowance for loan losses and,as a result,our benefit or provision for credit losses.See“Critical Accounting Estimates”for additional information about how our estimate of credit losses is subject to uncertainty.MD&A|Consolidated Results of OperationsFannie Mae Second Quarter 2023 Form 10-Q15The table below

Losses Our single-family benefit for credit losses in the second quarter and first half of 2023 was primarily driven by a benefit from actual and forecasted home price growth,partially offset by a provision from changes in loan activity,as described in more detail below:Benefit from actual and forecasted home price growth.During the second quarter and first half of 2023,we observed strong actual home price appreciation.In addition,our updated 2023 home price forecast changed from our prior estimate,resulting in a shift to positive home price appreciation for the year.Higher home prices decrease the likelihood that loans will default and reduce the amount of losses on loans that do default,which impacts our estimate of losses and ultimately reduces our loss reserves and provision for credit losses.See“Key Market Economic Indicators”for additional information about how home prices affect our credit loss estimates,including a discussion of home price growth and declines,and our home price forecast.Also see“Critical Accounting Estimates”for more information about our home price forecast.Provision from changes in loan activity,which includes provision on newly acquired loans.The portion of our single-family acquisitions consisting of purchase loans increased in the second quarter and first half of 2023 compared with the second quarter and first half of 2022.As our acquisitions consisted of a greater percentage of purchase loans,which generally have higher origination loan to value(“LTV”)ratios than refinance loans,the credit profile of our acquisitions weakened.This factor drove a higher estimated risk of default and loss severity in the allowance and therefore a higher credit loss provision for those loans at the time of acquisition.See“Single-Family BusinessSingle-Family Mortgage Credit Risk Management”for more information on our single-family loan acquisitions in the second quarter and first half of 2023.The largest driver of our single-family provision for credit losses in the second quarter and first half of 2022 was an increase in actual and projected interest rates as of June 30,2022 compared with March 31,2022 and December 31,2021.As mortgage rates increased,we expected a decrease in future prepayments on single-family loans,including modified loans accounted for as troubled debt restructurings(“TDRs”).Lower expected prepayments extended the expected lives of these TDR loans,which increased the expected impairment relating to economic concessions provided on them,resulting in a provision for credit losses.Some of the provision from increased actual and projected interest rates in the first half of 2022 was offset by a benefit from actual and forecasted home price growth.While home price growth was strong in the second quarter and first half of 2022,some market indicators at that time suggested that home price growth may have been moderating at a faster pace than indicated by our home price forecast,which reduced the benefit from home price growth recognized in the second quarter and first half of 2022.Multifamily Benefit(Provision)for Credit LossesOur multifamily provision for credit losses for the second quarter and first half of 2023 was primarily driven by decreases in estimated multifamily property values.This resulted in higher estimated LTV ratios on the loans in our multifamily guaranty book of business,which increased our estimate of expected credit losses on these loans.This provision is included in the“actual and projected economic data”line item in the table above.See“Multifamily BusinessMultifamily Mortgage Credit Risk ManagementMultifamily Portfolio Monitoring”for a discussion of risks within specific property types that we are monitoring,including a discussion of seniors housing loans and loans with adjustable-rates.The primary factor that contributed to our multifamily provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2022 was a provision for higher actual and projected interest rates.This provision was partially offset by a benefit from actual and projected economic data,including strong property value growth,driven by continued demand for multifamily housing.The primary factor that contributed to our multifamily benefit for credit losses in the first half of 2022 was a benefit from actual and projected economic data.This benefit was partially offset by a provision from higher actual and projected interest rates.MD&A|Consolidated Results of OperationsFannie Mae Second Quarter 2023 Form

securities purchased under agreements to resell increased from December 31,2022 to June 30,2023 primarily driven by our corporate debt issuances outpacing maturities,proceeds from the sale of securities and loans,and the continued accumulation of earnings retained from our operations.For further discussion,see“Liquidity and Capital ManagementLiquidity Management.”Mortgage Loans,Net of Allowance The mortgage loans reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets are classified as either HFS or HFI and include loans owned by Fannie Mae and loans held in consolidated trusts.Mortgage loans,net of allowance for loan losses modestly increased from December 31,2022 to June 30,2023,driven primarily by acquisition volumes being higher than loan paydowns during the first half of 2023,as well as a decline in our allowance for loan losses.For additional information on our mortgage loans,see“Note 3,Mortgage Loans,”and for additional information on changes in our allowance for loan losses,see“Note 4,Allowance for Loan Losses.”Debt The increase in debt of Fannie Mae from December 31,2022 to June 30,2023 was due to new issuances outpacing redemptions.The increase in debt of consolidated trusts from December 31,2022 to June 30,2023 was primarily driven MD&A|Consolidated Balance Sheet AnalysisFannie Mae Second Quarter 2023 Form 10-Q18by sales of Fannie Mae MBS,which also includes sales of Fannie Mae MBS that were previously held in our retained mortgage portfolio.Sales of Fannie Mae MBS are accounted for as issuances of debt of consolidated trusts in our condensed consolidated balance sheets,since the MBS certificate ownership is transferred from us to a third party.See“Liquidity and Capital ManagementLiquidity ManagementDebt Funding”for a summary of activity in short-term and long-term debt of Fannie Mae.Also see“Note 7,Short-Term and Long-Term Debt”for additional information on our total outstanding debt.Stockholders EquityOur stockholders equity(also referred to as our net worth)increased to$69.0 billion as of June 30,2023,compared with$60.3 billion as of December 31,2022,due to the$8.8 billion in comprehensive income recognized during the first half of 2023.The aggregate liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock increased to$185.5 billion as of June 30,2023 from$181.8 billion as of March 31,2023,due to the$3.8 billion increase in our net worth in the first quarter of 2023.The aggregate liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock will further increase to$190.5 billion as of September 30,2023 due to the$5.0 billion increase in our net worth in the second quarter of 2023.For more information about how this liquidation preference is determined,see“BusinessConservatorship and Treasury AgreementsTreasury AgreementsSenior Preferred Stock”in our 2022 Form 10-K and“Liquidity and Capital ManagementCapital ManagementCapital Activity”in this report.Retained Mortgage PortfolioWe use our retained mortgage portfolio primarily to provide liquidity to the mortgage market through our whole loan conduit and to support our loss mitigation activities,particularly in times of economic stress when other sources of liquidity to the mortgage market may decrease or withdraw.Our retained mortgage portfolio consists of mortgage loans and mortgage-related securities that we own,including Fannie Mae MBS and non-Fannie Mae mortgage-related securities.Assets held by consolidated MBS trusts that back mortgage-related securities owned by third parties are not included in our retained mortgage portfolio.The chart below separates the instruments within our retained mortgage portfolio,measured by unpaid principal balance,into three categories based on each instruments use:Lender liquidity,which includes balances related to our whole loan conduit activity,supports our efforts to provide liquidity to the single-family and multifamily mortgage markets.Loss mitigation supports our loss mitigation efforts through the purchase of delinquent loans from our MBS trusts.Other represents assets that were previously purchased for investment purposes.The majority of the balance of“Other”as of June 30,2023 consisted of Fannie Mae reverse mortgage securities and reverse mortgage loans.We expect the amount of assets in“Other”will continue to decline over time as they liquidate,mature or are sold.Retained Mortgage Portfolio(Dollars in billions)$23.7$30.6$38.5$36.5$15.5$12.4$77.7$79.5Lender liquidityLoss mitigationOther12/31/20226/30/2023MD&A|Consolidated Balance

originated reverse mortgage loans in 2010.(4)Consists of Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae reverse mortgage securities.(5)Consists of private-label and other securities,Fannie Mae-wrapped private-label securities and mortgage revenue bonds.The amount of mortgage assets that we may own is capped at$225 billion under the terms of our senior preferred stock purchase agreement with Treasury.In addition,we are currently required to cap our mortgage assets at$202.5 billion per instructions from FHFA.See“BusinessConservatorship and Treasury Agreements”in our 2022 Form 10-K for additional information on our mortgage assets cap.We include 10%of the notional value of the interest-only securities we hold in calculating the size of the retained portfolio for the purpose of determining compliance with the senior preferred stock purchase agreement retained portfolio limits and associated FHFA guidance.As of June 30,2023,10%of the notional value of our interest-only securities was$1.6 billion,which is not included in the table above.Under the terms of our MBS trust documents,we have the option or,in some instances,the obligation,to purchase mortgage loans that meet specific criteria from an MBS trust.The purchase price for these loans is the unpaid principal balance of the loan plus accrued interest.If a delinquent loan remains in a single-family MBS trust,the servicer is responsible for advancing the borrowers missed scheduled principal and interest payments to the MBS holders for up to four months,after which time we must make these missed payments.In addition,we must reimburse servicers for advanced principal and interest payments.In support of our loss mitigation strategies,we purchased$4.5 billion of loans from our single-family MBS trusts in the first half of 2023,the substantial majority of which were delinquent,compared with$11.2 billion of loans purchased from single-family MBS trusts in the first half of 2022.We expect the amount of loans we buy out of trusts will decrease in 2023 relative to the prior year as loans exiting COVID-19-related forbearance drove a higher number of loan modifications in 2022.The size of our retained mortgage portfolio will be impacted by the volume of loans we ultimately buy,the timing of those purchases,and the length of time those loans remain in our retained mortgage portfolio.MD&A|Retained Mortgage PortfolioFannie Mae Second Quarter 2023 Form 10-Q20Guaranty Book of BusinessOur“guaranty book of business”consists of:Fannie Mae MBS outstanding,excluding the portions of any structured securities we issue that are backed by Freddie Mac securities;mortgage loans of Fannie Mae held in our retained mortgage portfolio;and other credit enhancements that we provide on mortgage assets.“Total Fannie Mae guarantees”consists of:our guaranty book of business;and the portions of any structured securities we issue that are backed by Freddie Mac securities.We and Freddie Mac issue single-family uniform mortgage-backed securities,or“UMBS.”In this report,we use the term“Fannie Mae-issued UMBS”to refer to single-family Fannie Mae MBS that are directly backed by fixed-rate mortgage loans and generally eligible for trading in the to-be-announced(“TBA”)market.We use the term“Fannie Mae MBS”or“our MBS”to refer to any type of mortgage-backed security that we issue,including UMBS,Supers,Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit securities(“REMICs”)and other types of single-family or multifamily mortgage-backed securities.Some Fannie Mae MBS that we issue are backed in whole or in part by Freddie Mac securities.When we resecuritize Freddie Mac securities into Fannie Mae-issued structured securities,such as Supers and REMICs,our guaranty of principal and interest extends to the underlying Freddie Mac securities.However,Freddie Mac continues to guarantee the payment of principal and interest on the underlying Freddie Mac securities that we have resecuritized.See“BusinessMortgage SecuritizationsUniform Mortgage-Backed Securities,or UMBSUMBS and Structured Securities”in our 2022 Form 10-K for information regarding the upfront fee we charge to include Freddie Mac securities in our structured securities.Effective April 1,2023,the upfront fee for commingled securities decreased from 50 basis points to 9.375 basis points on the portion of the securities made up of Freddie Mac-issued collateral.References to our single-family guaranty book of business exclude Freddie Mac-acquired mortgage loans underlying Freddie Mac securities that we have resecuritized.Our issuance of structured securities backed in whole or in part by Freddie Mac securities creates additional off-balance sheet exposure.Our guaranty extends to the underlying Freddie Mac security included in the structured security,but we do not have control over the Freddie Mac mortgage loan securitizations.Because we do not have the power to direct matters(primarily the servicing of mortgage loans)that impact the credit risk to which we are exposed,which constitute control of these securitization trusts,we do not consolidate these trusts in our condensed consolidated balance sheet,giving rise to off-balance sheet exposure.See“Liquidity and Capital ManagementLiquidity ManagementOff-Balance Sheet Arrangements”and“Note 6,Financial Guarantees”for information regarding our maximum exposure to loss on unconsolidated Fannie Mae MBS and Freddie Mac securities.The table below displays the composition of our guaranty book of business based on unpaid principal balance.Composition of Fannie Mae

the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008(together,the“GSE Act”)requires us to set aside each year an amount equal to 4.2 basis points of the unpaid principal balance of our new business purchases and to pay this amount to specified U.S.Department of Housing and Urban Development(“HUD”)and Treasury funds in support of affordable housing.In March 2023,we paid$287 million to the funds based on our new business purchases in 2022.For the first half of 2023,we recognized an expense of$77 million related to this obligation based on$182.2 billion in new business purchases during the period.We expect to pay this amount to the funds in 2024,plus additional amounts to be accrued based on our new business purchases in the second half of 2023.See“BusinessLegislation and RegulationGSE-Focused

Single-Family business operates in the secondary mortgage market relating to single-family mortgage loans,which are secured by properties containing four or fewer residential dwelling units.The Multifamily business operates in the secondary mortgage market relating primarily to multifamily mortgage loans,which are secured by properties containing five or more residential units.The chart

10-K for additional information regarding the primary business activities,lenders,investors and competition of our Single-Family business.Single-Family Mortgage MarketHousing activity was relatively flat in the second quarter of 2023 compared with the first quarter of 2023.Total existing home sales averaged 4.25 million units annualized in the second quarter of 2023,compared with 4.33 million units in the first quarter of 2023,according to data from the National Association of REALTORS.According to the U.S.Census Bureau,new single-family home sales averaged an annualized rate of approximately 694,000 units in the second quarter of 2023,compared with approximately 638,000 units in the first quarter of 2023.The 30-year fixed mortgage rate was 6.71%as of June 29,2023,compared with 6.32%as of March 31,2023,and averaged 6.51%in the second quarter of 2023,compared with 6.37%in the first quarter of 2023,according to Freddie Macs Primary Mortgage Market Survey.Single-family mortgage market originations declined from an estimated$683 billion in the second quarter of 2022 to an estimated$443 billion in the second quarter of 2023.According to the July forecast from our Economic and Strategic Research Group,total originations in the U.S.single-family mortgage market in 2023 are forecasted to decrease from 2022 levels by approximately 32%,from an estimated$2.39 trillion in 2022 to$1.62 trillion in 2023,and the amount of MD&A|Guaranty Book of BusinessFannie Mae Second Quarter 2023 Form 10-Q22refinance originations in the U.S.single-family mortgage market will

Indicators”for additional discussion of how housing activity can affect our financial results and the uncertainties that may affect our forecasts and expectations.Single-Family Mortgage-Related Securities Issuances ShareOur single-family Fannie Mae MBS issuances were$91.6 billion for the second quarter of 2023,compared with$174.5 billion for the second quarter of 2022.This decrease was primarily driven by lower volumes of refinance and purchase lending in the second quarter of 2023 due to higher mortgage rates.Based on the latest data available,the chart below displays our estimated share of single-family mortgage-related securities issuances in the second quarter of 2023 as compared with that of our primary competitors for the issuance of single-family mortgage-related securities.Single-Family Mortgage-Related Securities Issuances ShareSecond Quarter 2023 Fannie Mae:32%Freddie Mac:28%Ginnie Mae:36%Private-label securities:4%We estimate our share of single-family mortgage-related securities issuances was 31%in the first quarter of 2023 and 36%in the second quarter of 2022.Presentation of Our Single-Family Conventional Guaranty Book of BusinessFor purposes of the information reported in this“Single-Family Business”section,we measure the single-family conventional guaranty book of business using the unpaid principal balance of our mortgage loans underlying Fannie Mae MBS outstanding.By contrast,the single-family conventional guaranty book of business presented in the“Composition of Fannie Mae Guaranty Book of Business”table in the“Guaranty Book of Business”section is based on the unpaid principal balance of the Fannie Mae MBS outstanding,rather than the unpaid principal balance of the underlying mortgage loans.These amounts differ primarily as a result of payments we receive on underlying loans that have not yet been remitted to the MBS holders or instances where we have advanced missed borrower payments on mortgage loans to make required distributions to related MBS holders.As measured for purposes of the information reported below,our single-family conventional guaranty book of business was$3,632.4 billion as of June 30,2023 and$3,635.2 billion as of December 31,2022.Single-Family Business Metrics Select Business MetricsNet interest income for our Single-Family business is driven by the guaranty fees we charge and the size of our single-family conventional guaranty book of business.The guaranty fees we charge are based on the characteristics of the loans we acquire.We may adjust our guaranty fees in light of market conditions and to achieve return targets.As a result,the average charged guaranty fee on new acquisitions may fluctuate based on the credit quality and product mix of loans acquired,as well as market conditions and other factors.MD&A|Single-Family Business|Single-Family Mortgage MarketFannie Mae Second Quarter 2023 Form 10-Q23The charts below display our average charged guaranty fees,net of TCCA

guaranty fee increase implemented pursuant to the TCCA,the incremental revenue from which is remitted to Treasury and not retained by us.(2)Our single-family conventional guaranty book of business primarily consists of single-family conventional mortgage loans underlying Fannie Mae MBS outstanding.It also includes single-family conventional mortgage loans of Fannie Mae held in our retained mortgage portfolio,and other credit enhancements that we provide on single-family conventional mortgage assets.Our single-family conventional guaranty book of business does not include:(a)mortgage loans guaranteed or insured,in whole or in part,by the U.S.government;(b)Freddie Mac-acquired mortgage loans underlying Freddie Mac-issued UMBS that we have resecuritized;or(c)non-Fannie Mae single-family mortgage-related securities held in our retained mortgage portfolio for which we do not provide a guaranty.Our average single-family conventional guaranty book of business is based on quarter-end balances.(3)In the fourth quarter of 2022,we enhanced the method we use to estimate average loan life at acquisition.Charged fees reported in prior periods have been updated in this report to reflect this updated methodology.Our single-family conventional loan acquisition volumes remained near historically low levels in the second quarter of 2023.This was primarily driven by historically low refinance volumes due to continued higher interest rates in the second quarter of 2023,as few borrowers could benefit from refinancing.In addition,housing affordability constraints and limited supply continued to put downward pressure on the volume of purchase loans we acquired.Average charged guaranty fee on newly acquired conventional single-family loans is a metric management uses to measure the price we earn as compensation for the credit risk we manage and to assess our return.Average charged guaranty fee represents,on an annualized basis,the average of the base guaranty fees charged during the period for our single-family conventional guaranty arrangements,which we receive monthly over the life of the loan,plus the recognition of any upfront cash payments,including loan-level price adjustments,based on an estimated average life at the time of acquisition.Our average charged guaranty fees on newly acquired conventional single-family loans are sensitive to changes in inputs used in the calculation,including assumptions about the weighted average life of the loans,therefore changes in these charged guaranty fees are not always a result of a change in pricing.Our average charged guaranty fee on newly acquired conventional single-family loans,net of TCCA fees,increased in the second quarter of 2023 compared with the second quarter of 2022,primarily driven by the overall weaker credit risk profile of our second quarter 2023 acquisitions.We generally charge higher guaranty fees on loans with weaker credit risk characteristics.Loans we acquired in the second quarter of 2023 had a weaker credit profile than loans we acquired in the second quarter of 2022 because a significantly larger share of our second quarter 2023 acquisitions were purchase loans,which generally have higher origination LTV ratios than refinance loans.In addition,a greater portion of our second quarter 2023 acquisitions were long-term fixed-rate loans,which generally have higher charged guaranty fees than intermediate-term fixed-rate loans.See“Single-Family Mortgage Credit Risk ManagementSingle-Family Portfolio Diversification and Monitoring”below for a description of key risk characteristics of our single-family acquisitions in the second quarter of 2023 and second quarter of 2022.MD&A|Single-Family Business|Single-Family Business MetricsFannie Mae Second Quarter 2023 Form 10-Q24Recent Price ChangesIn January 2023,FHFA announced changes to our single-family pricing framework by introducing redesigned and recalibrated upfront fee matrices for purchase,rate-term

the new upfront fee for certain borrowers with debt-to-income ratios above 40%,which FHFA rescinded.See“MD&ASingle-Family BusinessSingle-Family Business Metrics”in our 2022 Form 10-K for more

the second quarter and first half of 2022 was primarily the result of lower net amortization income,partially offset by higher income from portfolios.The drivers of net interest income for the

and first half of 2023 was primarily driven by a benefit from actual and forecasted home prices,partially offset by a provision from changes in loan activity,which includes provision on newly acquired loans.The largest driver of provision for credit losses for the second quarter and first half of 2022 was a provision for higher actual and projected interest rates due to interest rate increases in the first half of 2022.Some of the provision from increased actual and projected interest rates in the second quarter and first half of 2022 was offset by a benefit from actual and forecasted home price growth.See“Consolidated Results of OperationsBenefit(Provision)for Credit Losses”for more information on the primary factors that contributed to our single-family benefit or provision for credit

in the second quarter of 2023 compared with the second quarter of 2022 as the sharp rise in interest rates over the last year resulted in fewer borrowers who could benefit from refinancing.Accordingly,the share of our single-family loan acquisitions consisting of refinance loans(versus home purchase loans)decreased to 14%in the second quarter of 2023 compared with 36%in the second quarter of 2022.Typically,home purchase loans have higher LTV ratios than refinance loans.This trend contributed to an increase in the percentage of our single-family loan acquisitions with LTV ratios over 80%,from 34%in the second quarter of 2022 to 41%in the second quarter of 2023.Our share of acquisitions of loans with DTI ratios above 45%increased to 24%in the second quarter of 2023 compared with 22%in the second quarter of 2022.This increase was also driven by the higher share of home purchase acquisitions,which tend to have higher DTI ratios than refinance loan acquisitions.It also reflects the impact of higher interest rates and inflation on borrowers monthly obligations.For a discussion of factors that may impact the volume and credit characteristics of loans we acquire in the future,see“MD&ASingle-Family BusinessSingle-Family Mortgage Credit Risk ManagementSingle-Family Portfolio Diversification and Monitoring”in our 2022 Form 10-K.In this section of our 2022 Form

a reconciliation to statutory measures.Alternative Performance MeasureKeyKey Performance IndicatorMeasure defined by IFRS*2022 EBITDA and FRE have been restated to exclude non-operating foreign

plc22Condensed consolidated financial statements23Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements28Supplementary information45ContentsBridgepoint 2023 Interim Report1Im pleased to report that Bridgepoint has enjoyed a strong first half of 2023.During the first six months of the financial year the Company recorded strong fund performance,enjoyed attractive credit deployment conditions,made positive progress on fundraisings and committed fund capital in line with original expectations by exploiting attractive buying conditions in the European Middle Market.Market conditions in H1 2023 saw extended transaction timelineswith exits,fundraising and new investments all taking longer to complete as parties undertake robust and detailed diligence.As we move into H2,we are already seeing activity increase in the M&A market.In this context,Bridgepoint remains on track to deliver full year results in line with financial guidance albeit performance is weighted to the second half of the year with transactions across the business taking longer to complete.Our confidence ahead reflects the strength of both our favourable middle market positioning and Bridgepoints business model which provides multiple routes to deliver targeted financial performance.In summary:In the first half of 2023,Bridgepoint generated management and other fees of 124.6 million(an increase of 24 per cent.from H1 2022),which included the recognition of only 2.6 million of late fees relating to BE VII,underlying FRE of 42.9 million(an increase of 91 per cent.from H1 2022)and profit before tax of 53.1 million(an increase of 10 per cent.from H1 2022);As normal we currently have several funds raising,or about to raise,new capital.The Bridgepoint Europe VII(“BE VII”)fund raise is now well on the way to completion.It received capital commitments of some 0.5 billion over the last quarter and has now exceeded its predecessor fund in size with 6 billion of commitments received to date.In slower fundraising markets the fund will remain open for commitments until early 2024 to allow investors in process to participate in the fund using both 2023 and 2024 capital allocations.Importantly from a financial perspective,investors joining in Q1 2024 pay late fees backdated to the funds first closing last year;In more favourable credit market conditions Bridgepoint Direct Lending III(“BDL III”)and associated Separately Managed Accounts(“SMAs”)held a final close in the first half of 2023 with investable capital of over 3.4 billion.This is materially larger than the predecessor vintage,underlining strong investor appetite for the Direct Lending product in the current market;Bridgepoint Credit Opportunities IV(“BCO IV”)and Bridgepoint Growth II(“BG II”)are currently in the market and due to close in the next 12 months.Bridgepoint Development Capital V(“BDC V”),Bridgepoint Direct Lending IV(“BDL IV”)and Bridgepoint Credit Opportunities V(“BCO V”)are all expected to begin fundraising in the next 12 months;Fund capital deployment remains on track across the Group with M&A markets starting to see renewed activity in the last quarter.BE VII has now committed 18 per cent.of its primary capital,as it builds a high quality portfolio of growth assets and Bridgepoint Development Capital IV(“BDC IV”)has committed 69 per cent.of its primary capital.In credit,across the Direct Lending and Credit Opportunities strategies the team has deployed around 1.7 billion of capital over the last 12 months;Bridgepoints equity funds also agreed a range of exits during the first half of the year which will return over 600 million to fund investors.These transactions have been weighted mainly to historic funds.The pipeline of exits on more recent Funds(Bridgepoint Development Capital III(“BDC III”),Bridgepoint Europe V and VI(“BE V”and“BE VI”),where the Company has a more material direct economic interest,continues to grow and a return of some 4 billion of capital is targeted over the next 18 months.We currently expect our targeted exits for 2023 will be delivered in the second half of the year,however,some of these exits may move into the 2024 financial year in current market conditions;Strong value creation has also continued across our fund portfolios,with all flagship funds enjoying trading either on or ahead of plan.Both credit and equity funds performance continue to be strong reflecting their sector positioning,low exposure to companies dependent upon discretionary spend and the start of input price deflation which we are now seeing in certain sectors.Chairmans statement William JacksonBridgepoint 2023 Interim Report2Company financial performanceThe positive performance of our credit and equity funds during the first half of 2023 and the associated Company financial performance is testament to Bridgepoints depth of business and cycle experience and the resilience and professionalism of our team against a backdrop of challenges in geopolitics,financial markets,and monetary policy responses to address inflation.In H1 2023,AUM increased by 6.5 per pared to H1 2022 to reach 39.5 billion.This represents growth of 48 per cent.since IPO when AUM(at FY 2020)was 26.6 billion.Acrossour equity and credit funds,3.3 billion was deployed innew and follow-on investments and 3.0 billion of capital was realised during this same period.With the extension to the BE VII fundraising period,late fees relating to future commitments will be charged from first close and recognised in H2 2023 or H1 2024 depending on the timing of those final commitments.As noted above,we continue to be confident in our ability to deliver investment income in line with current expectations in 2023 and 2024 in aggregate.Management fees and other fees and underlying FRE increased by 24 per cent.and 91 per cent.respectively compared to H1 2022 and profit before tax increased by 10 per cent.This performance was driven by income from recently raised funds in H1 2023 combined with carefully matching cost growth to progress in fundraising.We are well positioned to deliver performance in line with current expectations recognising volatility in the precise timing of completing exits in process which drives investment income splits between 2023 and early 2024.Commentary on fundraising marketsLong term tailwinds behind private markets remain very strong,but since March 2023 macro volatility has led to increased caution with a number of investors continuing to face allocation issues.The so-called denominator effect(falling stock market valuations mathematically increasing fund allocations to other asset classes)has been exacerbated by the relative outperformance of private assets over the last two years,whilst lower returns of capital from historic fund commitments have also constrained some LPs new commitments.With over 85 per cent.of the funds targeted capital of 7 billion now committed,the BE VII process is well on the way to completion and will round out in early 2024.Encouragingly,whilst some mature existing BE investors have faced allocation issues to date this has been compensated for by a range of investors with less mature programmes investing in BE VII including major new Limited Partners(“LPs”)from both Asia and EMEA.This significantly strengthens the firms investor base for the longer term.The BE VII process will be followed shortly by the BDC V fundraising which has already received significant LP interest reflecting the outstanding performance of our BDC funds in recent years.William JacksonChairman“Both credit and equity funds performance continue to be strong.”Bridgepoint 2023 Interim Report3Investing in current market conditionsBridgepoint has been tested through previous cycles and called the autumn of this economic cycle early.As a result,the firm has constructed credit and equity portfolios accordingly,focusing on niche sectors with significant tailwinds behind them.Our investment thesis is focused on growth middle market companies and deploys leverage prudently.This is reflected in our robust underlying fund performance with all funds on or ahead of performance plan.In particular,BE VI and BDC III remain ahead of plan and top quartile in their latest respective benchmark vintages and are well positioned to deliver meaningful investment income for the Company in the medium term.As we look forward,it is worth noting that the PE market is witnessing a new pricing paradigm with the end of low-cost debt in volume for the time being.As a result,the middle market,which does not typically use significant leverage,is currently the most active space with returns in 2023 driven by real growth and cash generation.Portfolio construction,pricing discipline and sector selection are critical in the current market,as is a hands-on approach to value creation to driving value in portfolio companies.Bridgepoint continues to focus on sectors and niches identified by our thematic origination strategy doubling down on areas where we have real conviction and companies benefit from high quality of earnings and strong net cash conversion.Once in the portfolio,value creation continues to be driven by international expansion,buy-and-build programmes and driving operational excellence from a balanced portfolio with low exposure to cyclical sectors and discretionary spend.Our Private Credit investment thesis for direct lending,also designed around the middle market,features first lien,secured,uni-tranche,floating rate credits.We are typically supporting European financial sponsors to make acquisitions in their private equity strategies where we are very often the sole lender.While our most recent fund,BDL III,was targeting 7 to 9 per cent.unlevered returns when launched,thanks to the increase in base rates since the beginning of last year,it is currently realising unlevered returns in low double digits with no realised losses in the strategy since inception.Importantly the credit quality of the portfolio provides significant comfort that this trend will continue despite the volatile macro environment.Private EquitySo far this year our Private Equity funds have committed 0.8 billion to six platform investments,and returned 0.2 billion to investors.BE VII has made good progress with its new investment activity,acquiring Vivacy,a global personal healthcare company as well as agreeing to purchase Windar,a leading global specialist manufacturer of towers and foundations for onshore and offshore wind turbines.To date the fund has made 50 add on acquisitions of which 6 have been transformational.BDC III has continued to perform well with multiple add-on acquisitions agreed in H1 2023 and continuing to rank as one of Europes highest performing private equity funds for its vintage.BDC IV has now committed 69 per cent.of its primary fund capital,providing confidence that it is positioned to complete its investment period in 2024.The outlook for portfolio exits presents both challenges and opportunities.The macro environment is complex and buyers are more cautious but the expectation gap between buyers and sellers is narrowing.Selling assets today remains more challenging than in previous periods,but the value of growth remains at a premium in the current market.Safe strategic assets remain highly sought after.Embedded and portable leverage,where available,is also highly attractive to buyers.Middle market sized companies are also more attractive to large corporates who dont want to bet the farm with large transactions in cautious times and 98 per cent.of Bridgepoint fund realisations over the last 20 years have been delivered via private transactions,so our funds are not reliant on the IPO market for returns.In that context,we have agreed two exits recently both from BE III,Diaverum,a leading operator of private kidney dialysis clinics and DMC,a leading designer and manufacturer of connector technology systems for high-voltage power infrastructure.In particular,DMC was exited at an attractive EBITDA multiple,delivering a money multiple of 21.7 times.We expect to deliver further exits in the second half of the year with work on assets in BDC III,BE V and BE VI already underway.As a result,we have a good pipeline of potential exits in H2 2023 however in current market conditions there is the possibility of some movement in exits from 2023 into 2024.Chairmans statement William Jackson continuedBridgepoint 2023 Interim Report4Private CreditBridgepoint Credit enjoyed a strong first half of 2023.AUM reached 12.0 billion,an increase of 76 per cent.since Bridgepoint acquired EQT Credit.Bridgepoint Credit funds have now invested c.8.6 billion in over 200 companies since the acquisition.It is worth noting that the mix of credit capital has moved towards SMAs and other bespoke vehicles over time.This reflects the strength of our origination and the sophistication of the platform enabling us to provide credit investors with vehicles to match their risk appetite and other investment criteria as an alternative to investing in our main funds.Overall,during 2023 credit strategies benefitted from more volatile lending markets and higher base rates.Bridgepoint Credit is using its disciplined process to build well diversified funds that deliver attractive returns to investors whilst mitigating risks.Since inception our flagship Direct Lending funds have yet to record a loss on any lending exposure.Across the Direct Lending and Credit Opportunities strategies the team deployed around 1.7 billion of capital over the last year compared to realisations of 0.6 billion.BDL III has now invested over 1.9 billion in 27 companies and with the fund 68 per cent.invested we have commenced preparations for BDL IV.BCO IV is now 67 per cent.deployed and fundraising for BCO V will commence within the next 12 months.CLO 4 closed in January 2023 and we expect to close CLO 5 in Q3 2023.Business DevelopmentAs set out at the time of our IPO in July 2021 Bridgepoint remains committed to continuing to deepen and broaden its middle market investment platform to accelerate current organic growth through selective acquisition activity.As noted in March,falling sector valuations have broadened the potential horizon for potential M&A opportunities and we are engaged in active discussions which we would expect to finalise positively or negatively by the year end.Bridgepoints day job is making good acquisitions.Not surprisingly,therefore,any acquisition for the platform will have to meet the rigorous gatekeeping metrics which have been discussed in detail in prior company announcements.These include strong industrial logic,the ability to diversify the Groups income base,the need for a strong cultural fit and the ability for an acquisition to be accretive to short and medium term shareholder returns.Turning to our current platform,alongside a rigorous focus on efficiency and prudent cost control,the Company continues to invest in its operating resources in a controlled and focused manner.During the first half of the year we have strengthened further our operating resource which drives portfolio value creation.We have also continued to expand our investor relations and solutions presence on the ground globally.In this regard we have recently made senior Investor Relations hires in the United States(replacing retirees)and we will be opening new Singapore and Seoul offices dedicated to investor services in Asia.By deepening our resource in the key area of Investor Relations and developing deeper regional coverage while deploying a number of software solutions to enable efficiency,the Company is well placed to support new products and further business development.“The BE VII fundraise is well on the way to completion.”Bridgepoint 2023 Interim Report5Dividend I am pleased to confirm that the Company will be maintaining its progressive dividend policy this year and will pay an interim dividend of 4.4p per share in September.We expect our final dividend to be not less than 4.4p per share.When combined with the capital return of ca.3.8 pence per share via share buyback in H1 2023,total capital return to shareholders in H1 2023 was more than double that in H1 2022,reflecting the Boards strong confidence in the prospects of the Company.OutlookBridgepoint is encouraged by the outlook for the full year and confirms full year guidance.Whilst some revenue recognition may be delayed by the revised BE VII timetable we expect this to be mitigated by careful cost control in the full year to December 2023.We also remain confident in completing our targeted exits for H2 2023 which drive part of the Companys investment income.However,we recognise that the precise timing of exit processes are not directly within our own control and inevitably have some unpredictability in current markets.As a result,both fundraising and exits will be subject to external market conditions not materially deteriorating from today.Looking ahead,Bridgepoint benefits from having multiple avenues for both organic and M&A growth.The Company remains asset light,with less than 1 per cent.of AUM as investments,excluding consolidated CLOs,and together with over 300 million of cash and discounted carried interest receivable represents around 38 per cent.of our current market capitalisation also providing material strength to reinforce our business growth strategy.More widely the alternative investment market continues to enjoy the prospect of significant future tailwinds with portfolio rebalancing driving increased long-term allocations as new investors continue to enter the asset class.As a result,medium term market growth potential remains unchanged,offering a significant runway of future growth for our business.BE VII is now already larger than its predecessor and has attracted strong support from both new and existing investors.In particular,we have seen a significant acceleration of our strategy for geographic expansion of the investor base which creates a strong foundation for future fund cycles.With this market background driving organic growth and with our long duration capital,strong balance sheet,asset light model,high and stable margins,strong cash generation and attractive dividend yield,Bridgepoints outlook remains attractive.This resilience was central to the Boards decision to commence a tactical share buyback programme earlier in the year which is now more than 65 per plete.Looking forward,we expect market volatility and inflation pressures to continue in the near term and have positioned our investment activity accordingly.Bridgepoint will obviously not be immune to macroeconomic events,but we are excited by the strategic growth prospects for the Group and the long term prospects for our sector as we continue to progress our business development plans and remain confident in the Companys ability to deliver attractive returns for both our fund investors and our shareholders alike.William JacksonChairmanChairmans statement William Jackson

June 2023 reflect the step up in profitability from the latest flagship equity fund BE VII and prudent cost control.Underlying fee related earnings of 42.9 million compares to 22.5 million in the first half of 2022 which is driven by increased management fees of 124.6 million(including the recognition ofonly 2.6 million of late fees relating to BE VII)compared to 100.9 million in the first half of 2022.The increase of 24%reflects the start of fees from BE VII and growth of fee earning AUM in our Credit business with good momentum on deployment to take advantage of the higher interest rate environment.Thisstep up in fees deliveredan underlying FRE margin of 34%,in line with ourshort-term guidance.Total operating income of 137.8 million,a reduction of 2.3 million compared tothe comparative period,have been impacted by lower investment income of 12.7 million,due to modest changesto fund valuations and a comparatively slower period for exits.As previously advised,investment income in 2023 is expected to be heavily weighted towards the second half driven by exit activity.In 2023,we now expect investment income to be c.15%of total income versus previous guidance of c.20%,with a corresponding catch up in 2024.Costs(excluding exceptional expenses)of 82.2 million have increased modestly since the first half of 2022,largely reflecting higher premises costs of our new London office,but flat personnel expenses reflecting a deliberate phasing of investment team hires to match fundraising progress and timing of replacement hires for natural attrition.In January,we announced a 50 million share buyback programme,to reflectthe confidence we have in the resilience of our business.Weare more than 65 per cent of the way through this programme at 30 June 2023.The Groups balance sheet remains well capitalised.At 30 June 2023,the Group had a net cash position of 258.4 million(excluding cash within consolidated CLOs)and had a renewed andlarger banking facility of 200 million,which is undrawn.Furthermore,the Group holds investments in funds of 356.8 million,including the Groups exposure to CLO notes,andcarried interest at a discounted value of 47.1 million,which provides opportunity for further future profitability and conversion to cash in the medium-term.Adam JonesGroup Chief Financial Officer&Chief Operating OfficerCFO statement Guidance Fundraising:Continued progress on BE VII which is expected to hold its final close in early 2024.The target remains 7bn.BDC V,BDL IV and BCO V expected to begin fundraising within the next 12 months.Investment income:Continue to expect investment income torepresent around 20%of total income in the short term.In2023,we now expect investment income to be c.15%,with acatch up in 2024.Cost growth:Some inflationary pressures on costs in the near term and more modest growth in headcount and personnel costs over medium term.Actual cost growth in H1 was below high single digit guidance despite inflationary pressures being evident.This reflects deliberate phasing of investment team hires to match fundraising progress.FRE margin:Short term guidance remains unchanged at 30-35%.2024 expected to be slightly below the bottom of the short-term guidance,reflecting the usual margin profile of a PE cycle where continued successful divestments in 2023 and 2024 will,as expected,reduce fees recognised on invested capital ahead of BDC V generating fees from January 2025.Credit deployment:Expect to deploy at least 1bn of incremental FPAUM each year in Credit in the short term.Tax:Subject to any changes in the UK tax code,we expect our 2023 effective tax rate to be at the top end of the 5%-10%long term range.Bridgepoint 2023 Interim Report9CFO statement

Financial Reporting Standards(“IFRS”)but are used by the Directors and management to analyse the business and financial performance,track the Groups progress and help develop long-term strategic plans.Pages 19 and 20 set out definitions of each of the APMs used within the CFO Statement and how they can be reconciled back to the condensed consolidated financial statements.The analysis below includes two periods for comparison.First,the six months ended 30 June 2022,which is required to be included within the condensed financial information.In addition,the six months ended 31 December 2022 has been included as it provides a helpful comparison to the performance in the six months to 30 June 2023 because of underlying drivers such as invested capital and headcount.Bridgepoint 2023 Interim Report10FundraisingIn 2023 to date,fundraising for BE VII continued steadily and now amounts to 6 billion of commitments(including associated vehicles)despite continued uncertainty in the fundraising market.We now expect the fund to admit final investors in early 2024.BDL III concluded fundraising in May.In total,including separately managed accounts,the strategy has raised over 3.4 billion of investable capital since its launch in 2021.Fundraising is also underway for BG II and BCO IV,with the latter expected to conclude fundraising in the second half of the year.CLO 5 is

fund management contracts.The second component is the variable income from investments in funds and carried interest.Management fee income plus other operating income less costs is expressed as Fee Related Earnings(“FRE”).Underlying FRE excludes exceptional expenses and bonuses linked to investment returns.Profits from co-investment and carried interest together with FRE form the EBITDA of the business.Exceptional items are items of income or expense that are material by size or nature and are not considered to be incurred in the normal course of business.Exceptional items are classified as“exceptional”within the Group Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss are disclosed separately to give a clearer presentation of the Groups results.In the six month periods ended 30 June 2023,30 June 2022 and 31 December 2022,exceptional expenses were recognised relating to the personnel costs in relation to the acquisition of the EQT Credit business and costs incurred in relation to potential acquisitions.Underlying profit before tax excludes the aforementioned expenses and also certain non-operating other income and expenses which have also been classified as exceptional.Exceptional net other income primarily includes the reduction in the estimated deferred contingent consideration payable to EQT AB in the six months ended 30 June 2023 and six months ended 31 December 2022 for the acquisition of the EQT Credit business,which is determined by the outcome of certain fundraising that falls within the definitions in the transaction documents(rather than

increase in fees compared to the six month period to 30 June 2022 is principally due to the start of fees from BE VII plus fees on increased levels of invested capital in BDL III and BCO IV,and related separately managed accounts,in the Credit business.These increases are partially offset by reduced fees on older funds,which are in their divestment phase,where fees are based upon the remaining invested capital and reduce when investments are sold.Fees have reduced compared to the six months to 31 December 2023,due to the impact of late fees for BE VII for the stub period from May 2022 and the impact of a reduction of fees on older funds.Taken together,investment returns from carried interest and co-investments was 12.7 million compared to 38.7 million in the six month period

natural attrition and a deliberate phasing of investment team hires to match fundraising progress.Personnel expenses were 3.9 million lower than the six months ending 31 December 2022,reflecting a lower bonus accrual associated with lower investment income recognised in the period.The final annual bonus for 2023 will reflect the achievement of fundraising and exit targets.Personnel expenses(excluding exceptional expenses)as a percentage of total operating income were 44%for the six month period ended 30 June 2023,compared to 43%for the six months ended 30 June 2022 and 39%for

six months to 30 June 2022 due to the operating costs on the Groups new London headquarters,5 Marble Arch,and fundraising costs associated with BE VII.In comparison to the six month period ended 31 December,other operating expenses have decreased by 3.2 million due to a fall in professional fees incurred,which related to amounts paid in relation to the expansion of the Groups regulatory footprint and higher than normal premises costs during the second half of 2022 on the transfer to 5 Marble Arch.Other operating expenses(excluding exceptional expenses)as a percentage of total operating income are 15%which compares to 13%in the equivalent period in 2022 and 15%for the six months ended 31 December 2022.Foreign exchange losses of 0.3 million have been included within other

million.The inflow was due to the receipt of deferred proceeds from the sale of the Groups investment in Bridgepoint Credit II,the conversion of FRE and positive net working capital movements offset against payment of annual bonuses in March 2023.Net cash flows from investing activities,including carried interest and investment income proceeds,is driven by the timing of investments and divestments by the underlying Bridgepoint funds.Net outflows from investments in the six months ended 30 June 2023 included the impact of the launch of CLO 4,which is consolidated,and resulted in a cash outflow of 204.4 million.Net investment into Bridgepoint funds as a co-investor and other investors resulted in a cash outflow of 30.4 million.For the six months ended 30 June 2023 cash inflows from investing activities also include a receipt of 100m redeemed from cash held in term deposits with an original maturity of more than three months.Net cash inflows from financing activities for the six months ended 30 June 2023 of 129.0 million primarily relate to net inflow of CLO cash from investors in CLO 4(which is consolidated)of 185.2m,offset by dividends paid to shareholders,as well as payments to acquire shares as part of the Share Buyback Programme.At 30 June 2023 the Group had 30.7 million of consolidated CLO cash which was held by the consolidated CLO vehicles,legally ringfenced and not available for use by the Group.The consolidated cash flow statement includes the gross cash inflows and outflows for the period to,and cash held at 30 June 2023 for those CLOs which are required to be consolidated.This could distort how a reader of the financial statements interprets the cash flows of the Group,therefore a cash flow statement without the consolidated CLO vehicles is

were published.The principal risks and uncertainties to which the Group will be exposed in the second half of 2023 are expected to be substantially the same as those described in the 2022 Annual

TaraporevalaStatement of directors responsibilitiesThe directors confirm that,to the best of their knowledge,the interim condensed consolidated financial statements:Have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standard 34“Interim Financial Reporting”,and give a true and fair view of the assets,liabilities,financial position and profit of the Group;Include a fair review of the information required by Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rule 4.2.7,namely important events that have occurred during the first six months of the financial period and their impact on the interim financial statements,as well as a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the financial year;and Include,as required by Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rule 4.2.8,a fair review of material related party transactions that have taken place in the first six months of the financial period and any material changes to the related party

Interim Report21ConclusionWe have been engaged by Bridgepoint Group plc(the“Company”)to review the financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2023 which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss,the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income,the condensed consolidated statement of financial position,the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity,the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and related notes 1 to 14.We have read the other information contained in the interim report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the financial information.Based on our review,nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of consolidated financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2023 is not prepared,in all material respects,in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34 and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdoms Financial Conduct Authority.Basis for conclusionWe conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements(UK)2410(Revised),“Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”issued for use in the United Kingdom.A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries,primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters,and applying analytical and other review procedures.A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing(UK)and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit.Accordingly,we do not express an audit opinion.As disclosed in note 1,the annual financial statements are prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards.The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34,“Interim Financial Reporting”.Conclusions relating to Going ConcernBased on our review procedures,which are less extensive than those performed in an audit as described in the Basis of Conclusion section of this report,nothing has come to our attention to suggest that management have inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting or that management have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern that are not appropriately disclosed.This conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in accordance with ISRE(UK)2410(Revised),however future events or conditions may cause the entity to cease to continue as a going concern.Responsibilities of directorsThe interim report,including the financial information contained therein,is the responsibility of,and has been approved by,the directors.The directors are responsible for preparing the interim report in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34 and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdoms Financial Conduct Authority,which requires that the interim report must be prepared and presented in a form consistent with that which will be adopted in the Companys annual accounts having regard to the accounting standards applicable to such annual accounts.In preparing the interim financial report,the directors are responsible for assessing the Companys ability to continue as a going concern,disclosing,as applicable,matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations,or have no realistic alternative but to do so.Our responsibilities for the review of the financial informationIn reviewing the interim report,we are responsible for expressing to the company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statement in the half-yearly financial report.Our conclusion,including our Conclusions Relating to Going Concern,are based on procedures that are less extensive than audit procedures,as described in the Basis for Conclusion paragraph of this report.Use of the review reportThis report is made solely to the Company in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements(UK)2410 issued by the Financial Reporting Council and our Engagement Letter dated 13 July 2023.Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company those matters we are required to state to it in an independent review report and for no other purpose.To the fullest extent permitted by law,we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company,for our review work,for this report,or for the conclusions we have formed.Mazars LLPChartered Accountants30 Old Bailey London EC4M 7AU25 July 2023 Notes:1.The maintenance and integrity of the Bridgepoint Group plc web site is the responsibility of the directors;the work carried out by us does not involve consideration of these matters and,accordingly,we accept no

analysisThe Groups Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position is managed as a single unit rather than by segment.The only distinction for the business segments relates to the Groups investments in funds,carried interest receivable and other investments,which can be split between Private Equity and Private Credit(split between that attributable to the Group and to third party investors).30 June 2023 m31 December 2022 mInvestmentsPrivate equity256.6241.3Private equity-other investments 16.0Private credit(assets attributable to the Group)100.276.9Private credit(CLO assets

expenses(4.3)(4.5)Personnel expenses(61.3)(61.5)Total personnel expenses include 0.3m(2022:0.6m)of exceptional expenses,and accordingly are excluded from the calculation of underlying profitability measures(see note 4 for further details).a)Long-term incentive plansA new long-term incentive plan(“LTIP”)was granted to qualifying employees on 31 March 2023,of total value of the awards of 5.6m on grant date.The Group will settle the awards,vesting over the period 30 June 2023 to 31 March 2025 either in Bridgepoint Group plc shares or an equivalent cash payment,with no consideration paid by the participants.As the LTIP awards vest subject to the achievement of certain service conditions,namely the continued employment in the Group,they are accounted for as either equity-settled or cash-settled share-based payment transactions under the Groups accounting policy in line with IFRS 2“Share-based Payment”.This requires each award to be measured at fair value on its grant date,and in the case of the cash-settled share-based payments revalued at each reporting date.The fair value is calculated based on the market value of the shares at the grant date,adjusted for any market or non-vesting conditions of the shares.A share-based payment is recognised over the applicable vesting period as a personnel expense,with a corresponding entry in the share-based payment reserve within equity for equity-settled awards or as a liability for cash-settled awards,along with any employment taxes to be incurred by the Group.Bridgepoint 2023 Interim Report30Number of sharesWeighted average

share,with total value 250,000,vesting on 31 March 2026.As of 30 June 2023,the Group recognised 2.1m in personnel expenses related to these new awards and a further 0.1m relating to previous awards for which there have been no changes in the period.4 Exceptional itemsExceptional items are material items of income or expenditure that are not considered to be incurred in the normal course of business and without separate disclosure could distort an understanding of the financial statements.Accordingly,exceptional items are excluded from the calculation of underlying profitability measures.Six months ended 30 June2023 m2022 mPersonnel expenses(0.3)(0.6)Other operating expenses(1.0)(0.1)Total exceptional expenses within EBITDA(1.3)(0.7)Other expenses-(1.4)Total exceptional

transaction related bonuses and associated social security costs from the acquisition of EQT Credit in 2020.Specific bonus payments payable to employees in relation to the EQT acquisition are exceptional as similar awards were only granted once.The awards incentivise employees to align their goals with those of the business through being awarded over multiple periods,hence such expenses will continue to be recognised until 2025.b)Exceptional other operating expensesIn 2022 and 2023,exceptional other operating expenses include costs incurred in relation to strategic projects,including potential acquisitions.c)Exceptional other incomeExceptional other income of 5.9m(2022:nil)relates to remeasurement and revaluation of the deferred contingent consideration payable and associated unwind of discount to EQT AB in relation to the acquisition of EQT Credit in 2020.The deferred consideration payable to EQT AB was recognised upon acquisition and is considered exceptional as there are no similar contractual liabilities with EQT AB.Due to the contractual arrangement underlying the deferred consideration,which is a payable in a future accounting period,there have been exceptional items related to the valuation in multiple periods.Bridgepoint 2023 Interim Report315 Depreciation and amortisationThe following table summarises the depreciation and amortisation charge during the

incomeOther income in 2023 primarily relates to the remeasurement and revaluation of the deferred contingent consideration payable and associated unwind of discount to EQT AB of 5.9m(2022:nil).The deferred contingent consideration is payable to EQT AB and relates to the outcome of certain fundraising for the Bridgepoint Direct Lending III and Bridgepoint Credit Opportunities IV funds that falls within the definitions applying to deferred consideration in the transaction documents.These fundraises have either completed or are expected to complete during 2023.At 30 June 2023,the Group remeasured the expected liability at that point,which equated to 10.4m(2022:16.7m),through the profit and loss.This income is considered exceptional income,and accordingly is excluded from the calculation of underlying profitability measures.b)Other expensesOther expenses of 0.4m(2022:0.2m)include borrowing facility fees which are being amortised over the term of a new 200m facility with a duration of three years and the accelerated amortisation of a previous capitalised borrowing facility fee,which related to the pre-existing facility,which was terminated on the commencement of the new facility.Further detail is included in note 10(b).In the six months ended 30 June 2022,other expenses of 1.5m related to the unwind of discounting of the deferred contingent payable to EQT AB and is considered an exceptional expense,and accordingly excluded from the calculation of underlying profitability measures.c)Finance income and expense on amounts with related party investorsFinance income and expense represent amounts due to or from related party investors in Opal Investments LP,BE VI(French)Co-Invest LP,BDC IV(French)Co-Investment LP and Maple Tree VII LP under the limited partnership agreements.Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements continuedBridgepoint 2023 Interim Report327 Tax expenseAnalysis of tax expense reported in the income statement:Six months

underlying profit after tax of 45.3m(2022:48.5m)based on the number of shares in issue at 30 June 2023 is 0.06(2022:0.06 on underlying profit after tax of 48.5m based on the number of shares in issue at 30 June 2022).The underlying profit after tax is calculated by excluding exceptional items and the amortisation of intangible assets from within profit after tax.The number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of earnings per share excludes shares held by the Group itself and those subject to the Share Buyback Programme.Further detail is included in note 13(f).9 Carried interest receivableThe carried interest receivable relates to revenue which has been recognised by the Group relating to its share of fund profits through its holdings in Carried Interest Partnerships(“CIPs”).Revenue is only recognised to the extent it is highly probable that the revenue recognised would not result in significant revenue reversal of any accumulated revenue recognised on the completion of a fund.The reversal risk is mitigated through the application of discounts.If adjustments to the carried interest receivable recognised in previous periods are required,they are adjusted through revenue.As at 30 June 2023,the undiscounted carried interest asset is 113.8m(2022:103.5m).30 June 2023 m31 December 2022 mOpening balance42.038.9Income recognised in the

financial assets at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition.There are no material differences between the above amounts for trade and other receivables and their fair value.i)Fair value of fund investmentsInvestments representing the Groups interests in private equity and credit funds are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently remeasured at fair value through profit or loss within operating income.The investments primarily consist of loans or commitments made in relation to the Bridgepoint Europe VI,V and III,Bridgepoint Development Capital IV and III private equity funds,the Bridgepoint Credit I,Direct Lending II and I,and Credit Opportunities IV and III credit funds.The fund investments are measured at fair value through profit or loss as the business model of each vehicle is to manage the assets and to evaluate their performance on a fair value basis.Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements continuedBridgepoint 2023 Interim Report34ii)Other investments,at fair valueOther investments include,but is not limited to,loans made to a Group portfolio company.The Group elected the fair value option on these loans.Interest income is accrued on the principal amount of the loans based on its contractual interest rate.Other income is reported in other operating income within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Profit or Loss.Changes in the value of other investments are measured at fair value through profit and loss.iii)CLO assetsThe balance shown includes the gross value of the assets held by CLO 1,CLO 3,CLO 4 and CLO 5(2022:CLO 1,CLO3 and CLO 4),which are consolidated by the Group,but of which the Group only holds the rights and liabilities in relation to a small portion.The CLO assets

known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.Term deposits represent fixed term deposits placed with banks and financial institutions.Consolidated CLO cash is cash held by CLO vehicles consolidated by the Group and is not available for the Groups operating activities.There are no material differences between the carrying amounts and fair values of cash and cash equivalents,term deposits with original maturities of more than three months and consolidated CLO cash.Credit risk exposure on cash and term deposits is managed in accordance with the Groups Treasury&Risk Management Policy which provides limits on exposures with any single financial institution.The Groups surplus cash is held with financial institutions or money market funds which are rated as investment grade by third party rating agencies.As at 30 June 2023,100%of cash and term deposits were held with institutions or funds that are rated investment grade or above and all money market funds are AAA rated.Bridgepoint 2023 Interim Report35(b)Classification of financial liabilitiesThe following tables analyse the Group and Companys financial liabilities in accordance with the categories of financial instruments defined in IFRS 9.Liabilities such as deferred income,long-term employee benefits,social security and other taxes are excluded as they do not constitute a financial

included in the disclosure within this section.i)Borrowing On 1 June 2023,the Company entered into a new Revolving Facility Agreement for 200m for a period of three years.At 30 June 2023,there were no drawn amounts on the facility.This new borrowing arrangement replaced a 125m facility held by another Group entity,which was terminated on the same date.(c)Fair value measurementFair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal,or in its absence,the most advantageous market to which the Group has access to at that date.The fair value of a liability reflects its non-performance risk.The Group discloses fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements:Quoted prices(unadjusted)in active markets(level 1);Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for assets or liabilities,either directly(as prices)or indirectly(derived from prices)(level 2);Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data(level 3).Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements continuedBridgepoint 2023 Interim Report36Investments in funds,which hold portfolios of private equity and credit assets are valued in line with the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation(“IPEV”)Guidelines using a variety of methodologies.These investments are classified as level 3 financial assets due to the level of unobservable inputs within the determination of the valuation of individual assets within each fund and the lack of an observable price for each investment in a fund.The assets of the CLO vehicles,which are fully consolidated by the Group,are classified as level 2 fair values as they are priced using independent loan pricing sources.These sources consolidate broker quotes where depth represents the number of quotes supporting the price provided.Further details of the valuation methodologies,process and governance for investments in funds and investments held by consolidated CLOs is set out within the notes to the 2022 financial statements.Derivatives used for hedging,which are fair valued,are classified as level 2 fair values as the inputs are observable.Financial

Shell plc|July 27,2023Strong operational and cash performance,enhanced distributions Second quarter 2023 resultsShell plcJuly 27,2023Shell plc|July 27,20232This presentation includes certain measures that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles(GAAP)such as IFRS,including Adjusted Earnings,Adjusted EBITDA,CFFO excluding working capital movements,Cash capital expenditure,free cash flow,Divestment proceeds and Net debt.This information,along with comparable GAAP measures,is useful to investors because it provides a basis for measuring Shell plcs operating performance and ability to retire debt and invest in new business opportunities.Shell plcs management uses these financial measures,along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures,in evaluating the business performance.This presentation contains a forward-looking non-GAAP measure for cash capital expenditure and divestments.We are unable to provide a reconciliation of this forward-looking non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP financial measure because certain information needed to reconcile the non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP financial measure is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of the company,such as oil and gas prices,interest rates and exchange rates.Moreover,estimating such GAAP measure with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort.Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are estimated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Shell plcs consolidated financial statements.“Adjusted Earnings”is the income attributable to Shell plc shareholders for the period,adjusted for the after-tax effect of oil price changes on inventory and for identified items,and excludes earnings attributable to non-controlling interest.In this presentation,“earnings”refers to“Adjusted Earnings”unless stated otherwise.We define“Adjusted EBITDA“as“Income/(loss)for the period“adjusted for current cost of supplies;identified items;tax charge/(credit);depreciation,amortisation and depletion;exploration well write-offs and net interest expense.All items include the non-controlling interest component.In this presentation,“operating expenses”,“costs”and“underlying costs”refer to“Underlying operating expenses”unless stated otherwise.Underlying operating expenses represent“operating expenses excluding identified items”.Operating expenses consist of the following lines in the Consolidated Statement of Income:(i)production and manufacturing expenses;(ii)selling,distribution and administrative expenses;and(iii)research and development expenses.Cash flow from operating activities excluding working capital movements is defined as“Cash flow from operating activities”less the sum of the following items in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows:(i)(increase)/decrease in inventories,(ii)(increase)/decrease in current receivables,and(iii)increase/(decrease)in current payables.In this presentation,“capex”refers to“Cash capital expenditure”unless stated otherwise.Cash capital expenditure comprises the following lines from the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows:Capital expenditure,Investments in joint ventures and associates and Investments in equity securities.Free cash flow is defined as the sum of“Cash flow from operating activities”and“Cash flow from investing activities”.Organic free cash flow is defined as free cash flow excluding inorganic cash capital expenditure,divestment proceeds,and tax paid on divestments.In this presentation,“divestments”refers to“divestment proceeds”unless stated otherwise.Divestment proceeds are defined as the sum of(i)proceeds from sale of property,plant and equipment and businesses,(ii)proceeds from sale of joint ventures and associates,and(iii)proceeds from sale of equity securities.Net debt is defined as the sum of current and non-current debt,less cash and cash equivalents,adjusted for the fair value of derivative financial instruments used to hedge foreign exchange and interest rate risks relating to debt,and associated collateral balances.Reconciliations of the above non-GAAP measures are included in the Shell plc Unaudited Condensed Financial Report for the second quarter and half year ended June 30,2023.The companies in which Shell plc directly and indirectly owns investments are separate legal entities.In this presentation“Shell”,“Shell Group”and“Group”are sometimes used for convenience where references are made to Shell plc and its subsidiaries in general.Likewise,the words“we”,“us”and“our”are also used to refer to Shell plc and its subsidiaries in general or to those who work for them.These terms are also used where no useful purpose is served by identifying the particular entity or entities.“Subsidiaries”,“Shell subsidiaries”and“Shell companies”as used in this presentation refer to entities over which Shell plc either directly or indirectly has control.Entities and unincorporated arrangements over which Shell has joint control are generally referred to as“joint ventures”and“joint operations”,respectively.“Joint ventures”and“joint operations”are collectively referred to as“joint arrangements”.Entities over which Shell has significant influence but neither control nor joint control are referred to as“associates”.The term“Shell interest”is used for convenience to indicate the direct and/or indirect ownership interest held by Shell in an entity or unincorporated joint arrangement,after exclusion of all third-party interest.This presentation contains forward-looking statements(within the meaning of the U.S.Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995)concerning the financial condition,results of operations and businesses of Shell.All statements other than statements of historical fact are,or may be deemed to be,forward-looking statements.Forward-looking statements are statements of future expectations that are based on managements current expectations and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results,performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements.Forward-looking statements include,among other things,statements concerning the potential exposure of Shell to market risks and statements expressing managements expectations,beliefs,estimates,forecasts,projections and assumptions.These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases such as“aim”,“ambition”,“anticipate”,“believe”,“could”,“estimate”,“expect”,“goals”,“intend”,“may”,“milestones”,“objectives”,“outlook”,“plan”,“probably”,“project”,“risks”,“schedule”,“seek”,“should”,“target”,“will”and similar terms and phrases.There are a number of factors that could affect the future operations of Shell and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements included in this presentation,including(without limitation):(a)price fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas;(b)changes in demand for Shells products;(c)currency fluctuations;(d)drilling and production results;(e)reserves estimates;(f)loss of market share and industry competition;(g)environmental and physical risks;(h)risks associated with the identification of suitable potential acquisition properties and targets,and successful negotiation and completion of such transactions;(i)the risk of doing business in developing countries and countries subject to international sanctions;(j)legislative,judicial,fiscal and regulatory developments including regulatory measures addressing climate change;(k)economic and financial market conditions in various countries and regions;(l)political risks,including the risks of expropriation and renegotiation of the terms of contracts with governmental entities,delays or advancements in the approval of projects and delays in the reimbursement for shared costs;(m)risks associated with the impact of pandemics,such as the COVID-19(coronavirus)outbreak;and(n)changes in trading conditions.No assurance is provided that future dividend payments will match or exceed previous dividend payments.All forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section.Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.Additional risk factors that may affect future results are contained in Shell plcs Form 20-F for the year ended December 31,2022(available at and www.sec.gov).These risk factors also expressly qualify all forward-looking statements contained in this presentation and should be considered by the reader.Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this presentation,July 27,2023.Neither Shell plc nor any of its subsidiaries undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information,future events or other information.In light of these risks,results could differ materially from those stated,implied or inferred from the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation.All amounts shown throughout this presentation are unaudited.The numbers presented throughout this presentation may not sum precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures,due to rounding.Also,in this presentation we may refer to Shells“Net Carbon Intensity”,which includes Shells carbon emissions from the production of our energy products,our suppliers carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell.Shell only controls its own emissions.The use of the term Shells“Net Carbon Intensity”is for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries.Shells operating plan,outlook and budgets are forecasted for a ten-year period and are updated every year.They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next ten years.Accordingly,they reflect our Scope 1,Scope 2 and Net Carbon Intensity(NCI)targets over the next ten years.However,Shells operating plans cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target and 2035 NCI target,as these targets are currently outside our planning period.In the future,as society moves towards net-zero emissions,we expect Shells operating plans to reflect this movement.However,if society is not net zero in 2050,as of today,there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target.The content of websites referred to in this presentation does not form part of this presentation.We may have used certain terms,such as resources,in this presentation that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission(SEC)strictly

#PoweringProgressFIRST QUARTER 2023 RESULTSStrong results underpinned by robust performanceMay 4,2023Shell plcShell plc|May 4,20232This presentation includes certain measures that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles(GAAP)such as IFRS,including Adjusted Earnings,Adjusted EBITDA,CFFO excluding working capital movements,Cash capital expenditure,free cash flow,Divestment proceeds and Net debt.This information,along with comparable GAAP measures,is useful to investors because it provides a basis for measuring Shell plcs operating performance and ability to retire debt and invest in new business opportunities.Shell plcs management uses these financial measures,along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures,in evaluating the business performance.This presentation contains a forward-looking non-GAAP measure for cash capital expenditure and divestments.We are unable to provide a reconciliation of this forward-looking non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP financial measure because certain information needed to reconcile the non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP financial measure is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of the company,such as oil and gas prices,interest rates and exchange rates.Moreover,estimating such GAAP measure with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort.Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are estimated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Shell plcs consolidated financial statements.“Adjusted Earnings”is the income attributable to Shell plc shareholders for the period,adjusted for the after-tax effect of oil price changes on inventory and for identified items,and excludes earnings attributable to non-controlling interest.In this presentation,“earnings”refers to“Adjusted Earnings”unless stated otherwise.We define“Adjusted EBITDA“as“Income/(loss)for the period“adjusted for current cost of supplies;identified items;tax charge/(credit);depreciation,amortisation and depletion;exploration well write-offs and net interest expense.All items include the non-controlling interest component.In this presentation,“operating expenses”,“costs”and“underlying costs”refer to“Underlying operating expenses”unless stated otherwise.Underlying operating expenses represent“operating expenses excluding identified items”.Operating expenses consist of the following lines in the Consolidated Statement of Income:(i)production and manufacturing expenses;(ii)selling,distribution and administrative expenses;and(iii)research and development expenses.Cash flow from operating activities excluding working capital movements is defined as“Cash flow from operating activities”less the sum of the following items in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows:(i)(increase)/decrease in inventories,(ii)(increase)/decrease in current receivables,and(iii)increase/(decrease)in current payables.In this presentation,“capex”refers to“Cash capital expenditure”unless stated otherwise.Cash capital expenditure comprises the following lines from the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows:Capital expenditure,Investments in joint ventures and associates and Investments in equity securities.Free cash flow is defined as the sum of“Cash flow from operating activities”and“Cash flow from investing activities”.Organic free cash flow is defined as free cash flow excluding inorganic cash capital expenditure,divestment proceeds,and tax paid on divestments.In this presentation,“divestments”refers to“divestment proceeds”unless stated otherwise.Divestment proceeds are defined as the sum of(i)proceeds from sale of property,plant and equipment and businesses,(ii)proceeds from sale of joint ventures and associates,and(iii)proceeds from sale of equity securities.Net debt is defined as the sum of current and non-current debt,less cash and cash equivalents,adjusted for the fair value of derivative financial instruments used to hedge foreign exchange and interest rate risks relating to debt,and associated collateral balances.Reconciliations of the above non-GAAP measures are included in the Shell plc Unaudited Condensed Financial Report for the first quarter ended March 31,2023.The companies in which Shell plc directly and indirectly owns investments are separate legal entities.In this presentation“Shell”,“Shell Group”and“Group”are sometimes used for convenience where references are made to Shell plc and its subsidiaries in general.Likewise,the words“we”,“us”and“our”are also used to refer to Shell plc and its subsidiaries in general or to those who work for them.These terms are also used where no useful purpose is served by identifying the particular entity or entities.“Subsidiaries”,“Shell subsidiaries”and“Shell companies”as used in this presentation refer to entities over which Shell plc either directly or indirectly has control.Entities and unincorporated arrangements over which Shell has joint control are generally referred to as“joint ventures”and“joint operations”,respectively.“Joint ventures”and“joint operations”are collectively referred to as“joint arrangements”.Entities over which Shell has significant influence but neither control nor joint control are referred to as“associates”.The term“Shell interest”is used for convenience to indicate the direct and/or indirect ownership interest held by Shell in an entity or unincorporated joint arrangement,after exclusion of all third-party interest.This presentation contains forward-looking statements(within the meaning of the U.S.Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995)concerning the financial condition,results of operations and businesses of Shell.All statements other than statements of historical fact are,or may be deemed to be,forward-looking statements.Forward-looking statements are statements of future expectations that are based on managements current expectations and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results,performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements.Forward-looking statements include,among other things,statements concerning the potential exposure of Shell to market risks and statements expressing managements expectations,beliefs,estimates,forecasts,projections and assumptions.These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases such as“aim”,“ambition”,“anticipate”,“believe”,“could”,“estimate”,“expect”,“goals”,“intend”,“may”,“milestones”,“objectives”,“outlook”,“plan”,“probably”,“project”,“risks”,“schedule”,“seek”,“should”,“target”,“will”and similar terms and phrases.There are a number of factors that could affect the future operations of Shell and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements included in this presentation,including(without limitation):(a)price fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas;(b)changes in demand for Shells products;(c)currency fluctuations;(d)drilling and production results;(e)reserves estimates;(f)loss of market share and industry competition;(g)environmental and physical risks;(h)risks associated with the identification of suitable potential acquisition properties and targets,and successful negotiation and completion of such transactions;(i)the risk of doing business in developing countries and countries subject to international sanctions;(j)legislative,judicial,fiscal and regulatory developments including regulatory measures addressing climate change;(k)economic and financial market conditions in various countries and regions;(l)political risks,including the risks of expropriation and renegotiation of the terms of contracts with governmental entities,delays or advancements in the approval of projects and delays in the reimbursement for shared costs;(m)risks associated with the impact of pandemics,such as the COVID-19(coronavirus)outbreak;and(n)changes in trading conditions.No assurance is provided that future dividend payments will match or exceed previous dividend payments.All forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section.Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.Additional risk factors that may affect future results are contained in Shell plcs Form 20-F for the year ended December 31,2022(available at and www.sec.gov).These risk factors also expressly qualify all forward-looking statements contained in this presentation and should be considered by the reader.Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this presentation,May 4,2023.Neither Shell plc nor any of its subsidiaries undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information,future events or other information.In light of these risks,results could differ materially from those stated,implied or inferred from the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation.All amounts shown throughout this presentation are unaudited.The numbers presented throughout this presentation may not sum precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures,due to rounding.Also,in this presentation we may refer to Shells“Net Carbon Intensity”,which includes Shells carbon emissions from the production of our energy products,our suppliers carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell.Shell only controls its own emissions.The use of the term Shells“Net Carbon Intensity”is for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries.Shells operating plan,outlook and budgets are forecasted for a ten-year period and are updated every year.They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next ten years.Accordingly,they reflect our Scope 1,Scope 2 and Net Carbon Intensity(NCI)targets over the next ten years.However,Shells operating plans cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target and 2035 NCI target,as these targets are currently outside our planning period.In the future,as society moves towards net-zero emissions,we expect Shells operating plans to reflect this movement.However,if society is not net zero in 2050,as of today,there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target.The content of websites referred to in this presentation does not form part of this presentation.We may have used certain terms,such as resources,in this presentation that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission(SEC)strictly prohibits us from including in our filings with the SEC.Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 20-F,File No 1-32575,available on the SEC website www.sec.gov.The financial information presented in this presentation does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434(3)of the Companies Act 2006(“the Act”).Statutory accounts for the year ended

non-GAAP reconciliation in attachmentsFinancial HighlightsSecond quarter 2023 earnings decreased compared to second quarter 2022 primarily due to lower upstream realizations and lower margins on refined product sales.Sales and other operating revenues in second quarter 2023 were$47.2 billion,down from$65.4 billion in the year-ago period primarily due to lower commodity prices.Worldwide net oil-equivalent production was up 2 percent from the year-ago quarter primarily due to record Permian Basin production of 772,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.Capex in the second quarter of 2023 was up 18 percent from a year ago primarily due to higher investment in the United States.Quarterly shareholder distributions were a record$7.2 billion during the quarter,including dividends of$2.8 billion and share repurchases of$4.4 billion(over 27 million shares repurchased during the quarter and nearly 50 million shares year-to-date).The companys Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of one dollar and fifty-one cents($1.51)per share,payable September 11,2023,to all holders of common stock as shown on the transfer records of the corporation at the close of business on August 18,2023.Business Highlights Announced an agreement to acquire PDC Energy,Inc.in an all-stock transaction,with closing anticipated in August 2023.This acquisition is expected to add$1 billion to

the“Investors”section.Prepared remarks for todays call,additional financial and operating information and other complementary materials will be available prior to the call at approximately 3:30 a.m.PT and located under“Events and Presentations”in the“Investors”section on the Chevron website.As used in this news release,the term“Chevron”and such terms as“the company,”“the corporation,”“our,”“we,”“us”and“its”may refer to Chevron Corporation,one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries,or to all of them taken as a whole.All of these terms are used for convenience only and are not intended as a precise description of any of the separate companies,each of which manages its own affairs.Please visit Chevrons website and Investor Relations page at and Instagram: Chevron often discloses important information about the company,its business,and its results of operations.Non-GAAP Financial Measures-This news release includes adjusted earnings/(loss),which reflect earnings or losses excluding significant non-operational items including impairment charges,write-offs,severance costs,gains on asset sales,unusual tax items,effects of pension settlements and curtailments,foreign currency effects and other special items.We believe it is useful for investors to consider this measure in comparing the underlying performance of our business across periods.The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income(loss)as prepared in accordance with U.S.GAAP.A reconciliation to net income(loss)attributable to Chevron Corporation is shown in Attachment 4.This news release also includes cash flow from operations excluding working capital,free cash flow and free cash flow excluding working capital.Cash flow from operations excluding working capital is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less net changes in operating working capital,and represents cash generated by operating activities excluding the timing impacts of working capital.Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and generally represents the cash available to creditors and investors after investing in the business.Free cash flow excluding working capital is defined as net cash provided by operating activities excluding working capital less capital expenditures and generally represents the cash available to creditors and investors after investing in the business excluding the timing impacts of working capital.The company believes these measures are useful to monitor the financial health of the company and its performance over time.Reconciliations of cash flow from operations excluding working capital,free cash flow and free cash flow excluding working capital are shown in Attachment 3.This news release also includes net debt ratio.Net debt ratio is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities as a percentage of total debt less cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities,plus Chevron Corporation stockholders equity,which indicates the companys leverage,net of its cash balances.The company believes this measure is useful to monitor the strength of the companys balance sheet.A reconciliation of net debt ratio is shown in Attachment 2.Expected incremental annual free cash flow of$1 billion following the PDC Energy,Inc.acquisition is a forward-looking non-GAAP measure.It assumes Brent oil price of$70 per barrel,Henry Hub gas price of$3.50 per MCF,approximately$100 million of annual operating expense synergies and approximately$400 million of annual capex efficiencies.However,due to its forward-looking nature,management cannot reliably predict certain other necessary components of the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure and is therefore unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation.-6-MORE-CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS RELEVANT TO
