Tom Szkutak, CFO CSFB Technology Conference November 27, 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 Our Model Our Results Our Strategy 3 Amazon.com Our Model 4 Our Model Capital Efficiency -- Centralized Distribution Physical Store Amazon.com Headquarters Fulfillment Centers Stores Lower Invested Capital = Higher Return 5 Our Model Balance Sheet ($MM) Q3 2002 Q3 2007 Assets Cash & Marketable Securities $866 $1,909 TTM Free Cash Flow $800 Inventories $152 $970 12 Turns / 6% of Sales A/R, Deferred Tax Assets & Other $102 $545 $1,461 in “operating assets” Total Current Assets $1,120 $3,424 Fixed Assets, net $239 $491 Deferred Tax Assets & Other $139 $703 Total Assets $1,497 $4,618 Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity A/P & Other Current Liabilities $711 $2,319 Long-Term Debt and Other $2,265 $1,538 Principal Due 2009 / 2010 Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) ($1,478) $761 Total Liabilities & Stockholders’ $1,497 $4,618 Equity Our Model is Demonstrating its Efficiency 6 Our Model Q3 07 Capital Efficiency -- Operating Cycle (TTM) (1) 19 Days Day 0 29 33 52 Product Product Customer Supplier Received Shipped Payment Paid Working Capital is a Source of Cash 7 (1) As of 09/30/07 – TTM Inventory Days, TTM Ending AR Days and TTM Ending AP Days Our Model Pre-orders Capture Early Demand and Improve Inventory Forecasting 8 Our Model Inventory Velocity Hypothetical Example -- Digital Camera Physical Store Amazon.com Average Selling Price $300 $300 Turns -- TTM 6.3 12.4 Obsolescence Hypothetical Value -- One Year Later $210 $210 Obsolescence Loss Per Week (30% per Year) $1.7 $1.7 Average Weeks in Inventory 8.3 4.2 Obsolescence Cost Per Unit $14.11 $7.12 As a % of Sales 4.7% 2.4% Inventory Velocity Translates to Cash Benefit 9 Our Model Technology Performance / $ Internet Penetration / Users Optical Fiber -- Doubles 9 months (bits per second) Web Services Data Storage -- Doubles 12 months Bandwidth (bits per square inch) Wireless Silicon (Moore’s Law) -- Doubles 18 Months (number of transistors) Instant On 0 Years 5 Third Parties Source: Vinod Khosla, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, 2000 Technology is our Ally – It Will Only Get Better 10 Amazon.com Our Results 11 Our Results Free Cash Flow -- TTM (1) ($MM) $173 $41 $581 $161 $372 ($199) $242 ($201) ($1) ($155) $800 Q3 07 Stock-based Change in Change in Depreciation CapEx Net Interest Other, Net Q3 07 GAAP Compensation Accounts inventories & Amortization Expense FCF Operating Payable & Other Income Leverage in Earnings, Working Capital 12 (1) Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, is GAAP Operating Cash Flow Less Capital Expenditures.
