Microsoft misses estimates but stock up 5% on rosy guidance (CNBC)

Microsoft said it would have had more revenue in the quarter were it not for unfavorable foreign-exchange rates and tougher PC and advertising markets.

The company said factory shutdowns in China in April and May and a worsening computer market in June reduced Windows revenue from device makers by $300 million. Sales of Windows licenses to device makers fell by 2% in the quarter. Still, a contraction in advertising spending resulted in a $100 million cut to revenue for the search and news advertising and LinkedIn categories. The More Personal Computing segment featuring the Windows operating system, Xbox video-game consoles, the Bing search engine and Surface devices delivered $14.36 billion in revenue for the quarter. In June, Microsoft reduced its quarterly income and revenue guidance guidance for income and revenue just because of rate fluctuations. That was up nearly 13% and slightly less than the StreetAccount consensus of $16.66 billion. Analysts surveyed by CNBC had expected 43.1%, while the consensus estimate from StreetAccount was 43.4%. Microsoft does not disclose Azure revenue in dollars. That was up 20% and below the consensus of $21.10 billion among analysts polled by StreetAccount. The company said revenue from Azure and other cloud services grew by 40%, compared with 46% in the prior quarter. Revenue and income for the quarter came in at the low end of the ranges that Microsoft had put forward in June. She said Microsoft would lengthen the useful life of server and networking equipment to six years from four years. The company's earnings per share fell short of consensus for the first time since 2016, with net income rising 2% to $16.74 billion.

Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) CEO Satya Nadella on Q4 2022 ... (Seeking Alpha)

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:NASDAQ:MSFT) Q4 2022 Earnings Conference Call July 26, 2022 5:30 PM ET Company Participants Brett Iversen - General Manager, ...

And you saw the way it shows itself, as you might notice is you saw the seat growth be a little lighter than you would have expected in the quarter. We do feel that we've gotten in a good place on capacity on a global basis and are focused on making sure our customers can drive the new units they need, the new usage they need in those data centers. We expect COGS to grow between 12% and 14% in constant currency or to be between US$14.9 billion and US$15.1 billion and operating expense to grow between 19% and 20% in constant currency or to be between US$13.3 billion and US$13.4 billion. To Keith's question and your question, Mark, I think I'd say I'd start there because whether it's on the demand side with consumers or SMBs, I think Amy in her remarks talked about some of that even in our results in the quarter. One is the -- whether the bookings number or the Mac deals and the size of the Mac deals and the number of them, I think, speak to very much what we have been talking about for a long time now, which is as a percentage of GDP, IT spend is going to increase because every business is trying to fortify itself with digital tech to, in some sense, navigate this macro environment. In Office commercial, revenue growth will again be driven by Office 365 with seat growth across customer segments and ARPU growth through E5. We expect Office 365 revenue growth to be sequentially lower by roughly 2 points on a constant currency basis with a bit more FX impact on U.S. dollar growth than at the segment level. Revenue will continue to be driven by Azure, which, as a reminder, can have quarterly variability primarily from our per-user business and from in-period revenue recognition, depending on the mix of contracts. Our differentiated market position, customer demand across our solution portfolio and consistent execution across the Microsoft Cloud should drive another strong quarter of revenue and share growth, although we expect to continue to see growth moderation in our small- and medium-sized business segment. Within the segments, we anticipate roughly 6 points of negative FX impact on revenue growth in Productivity and Business Processes and Intelligent Cloud and 3 points in More Personal Computing. Let me start with some full year commentary for FY '23. First, effective at the start of FY '23, we are extending the depreciable useful life for server and network equipment assets in our cloud infrastructure from 4 to 6 years, which will apply to the asset balances on our balance sheet as of June 30, 2022, as well as future asset purchases. Leaders in every industry, including Kraft Heinz, Fujitsu and Unilever have migrated ERP workloads to Azure. Just last week, we announced a new service to accelerate adoption of Oracle workloads on Azure. We are the only public cloud with simplified direct access to Oracle databases running in the Oracle Cloud. If you ask a question, it will be included in our live transmission, in the transcript and in any future use of the recording.

And you saw the way it shows itself, as you might notice is you saw the seat growth be a little lighter than you would have expected in the quarter. Obviously, the big driver of our growth this quarter was in data center spend, both new and newbuilds as well as adding capacity to existing data centers. We've really taken that frame and applied it as we thought to H1 and specifically to Q1 in that guidance. And in gaming, we expect revenue to decline in the low to mid-single digits, driven by declines in first-party content, partially offset by growth in Game Pass subscribers and consoles. It was a record even for us, even with the context of Q4. So there's obviously something going on in the macro environment, which does feel that it does play to our strength. Finally, as a reminder on Q1 cash flow, we will be making $3.2 billion of tax payments related to the TCJA transition tax and the transfer of intangible property completed in Q1 of FY '22. In closing, we continue to see strong demand for our products and services and increased commitment to our platform as we remain focused on delivering compelling customer value in this dynamic environment, resulting in continued share gains. Excluding the impact of the change in accounting estimate, Q1 gross margin percentage will decrease roughly one point, driven by revenue mix shift to Azure and the impact from the Nuance acquisition, partially offset by continued margin improvement in Azure. In capital expenditures, we expect a sequential decrease on a dollar basis, with normal quarterly spend variability and the timing of our cloud infrastructure build-out. Within the segments, we anticipate roughly six points of negative FX impact on revenue growth in Productivity and Business Processes and Intelligent Cloud and three points in More Personal Computing. Overall, our outlook has the trends we saw in June continue through Q1. Operating income increased 8% and 14% in constant currency, and operating margins decreased year over year to 40%. Excluding the impact of the change in accounting estimate and FX, operating margins were relatively unchanged as the improvement in cloud services noted earlier and sales mix shift to higher-margin businesses were offset by the impact of the Nuance acquisition. Operating expense increased 12% and 14% in constant currency, and operating income increased 12% and 19% in constant currency. All up, our security revenue increased 40%. We are the only cloud provider with protection for the top three cloud platforms, and we are seeing more and more customers turn to us to protect their multi-cloud, multi-platform infrastructure. And we are the platform of choice for SAP apps on the cloud.
