Q4 2009 Financial Results
 Conference Call Slides
This presentation may contain forward-looking statements which are inherently
difficult to predict. Actual results could differ materially for a variety of reasons,
including fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, changes in global economic
conditions and consumer spending, world events, the rate of growth of the
Internet and online commerce, the amount that Amazon.com invests in new
business opportunities and the timing of those investments, the mix of products
sold to customers, the mix of net sales derived from products as compared with
services, the extent to which we owe income taxes, competition, management
of growth, potential fluctuations in operating results, international growth and
expansion, the outcomes of legal proceedings and claims, fulfillment center
optimization, risks of inventory management, seasonality, the degree to which
the Company enters into, maintains and develops commercial agreements,
acquisitions and strategic transactions, and risks of fulfillment throughput and
productivity. Other risks and uncertainties include, among others, risks related to
new products, services and technologies, system interruptions, government
regulation and taxation, payments, and fraud. In addition, the current global
economic climate amplifies many of these risks. More information about factors
that potentially could affect Amazon.com’s financial results is included in
Amazon.com’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its
most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings.


Additional information relating to certain of our financial measures contained
herein is available in the appendix to our presentation, our most recent earnings
release and at our website at www.amazon.com/ir under ‘Financial Documents’.

    This presentation maycontain forward-looking statements which are inherently difficult to predict. Actual results could differ materially for a variety of reasons, including fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, changes in global economic conditions and consumer spending, world events, the rate of growth of the Internet and online commerce, the amount that Amazon.com invests in new business opportunities and the timing of those investments, the mix of products sold to customers, the mix of net sales derived from products as compared with services, the extent to which we owe income taxes, competition, management of growth, potential fluctuations in operating results, international growth and expansion, the outcomes of legal proceedings and claims, fulfillment center optimization, risks of inventory management, seasonality, the degree to which the Company enters into, maintains and develops commercial agreements, acquisitions and strategic transactions, and risks of fulfillment throughput and productivity. Other risks and uncertainties include, among others, risks related to new products, services and technologies, system interruptions, government regulation and taxation, payments, and fraud. In addition, the current global economic climate amplifies many of these risks. More information about factors that potentially could affect Amazon.com’s financial results is included in Amazon.com’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings. Additional information relating to certain of our financial measures contained herein is available in the appendix to our presentation, our most recent earnings release and at our website at www.amazon.com/ir under ‘Financial Documents’. 2
