Tom Szkutak, CFO Goldman Sachs Eighth Annual Internet Conference May 24th, 2007 Amazon.com This presentation may contain forward-looking statements, including statements regarding expectations of sales, gross margin, productivity, leverage, operating results, consolidated segment operating results, capital investment, return on capital, free cash flow and other financial statement or balance sheet items or ratios, all of 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, significant indebtedness, government regulation and taxation, payments, and fraud. 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, and all 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 Amazon.com Agenda
