At just $0.00099 per GB-month (less than one-tenth of one cent, or $1 per TB-month), S3 Glacier Deep Archive offers the lowest cost storage in the cloud, at prices significantly lower than storing and maintaining data in on-premises magnetic tape libraries or archiving data off-site.

• |
AWS announced the general availability of Amazon WorkLink, a fully-managed service that enables companies to provide their workforce with secure one-click access to internal websites and web applications from their mobile devices without connecting to VPNs or using custom browsers. Amazon WorkLink removes the need to build and maintain complicated infrastructure and software deployments to secure mobile access to internal content while also reducing the risk of information loss or theft because content is never stored or cached on devices. |
• |
Net sales are expected to be between $59.5 billion and $63.5 billion, or to grow between 13% and 20% compared with second quarter 2018. This guidance anticipates an unfavorable impact of approximately 150 basis points from foreign exchange rates.
|
• |
Operating income is expected to be between $2.6 billion and $3.6 billion, compared with $3.0 billion in second quarter 2018.
|
• |
This guidance assumes, among other things, that no additional business acquisitions, investments, restructurings, or legal settlements are concluded. |

As a result of the adoption of accounting guidance in Q1 2018, we retrospectively adjusted our consolidated statements of cash flows to add restricted cash to cash and cash equivalents. |
(2) |
On January 1, 2019, we adopted accounting guidance amending the accounting for leases, which did not have a material impact on our Q1 2019 operating results. Prior period amounts were not retrospectively adjusted. Under this new guidance, leases we previously referred to as “capital leases” are now referred to as “finance leases.” Leases we previously referred to as “finance leases” are now referred to as “financing obligations.” |
(3) |
For the twelve months ended March 31, 2019, this amount relates to equipment included in “Property and equipment acquired under finance leases” of $10,972 million. Amounts for prior periods have not been retrospectively adjusted.
|
(4) |
For the twelve months ended March 31, 2019, this amount relates to property included in “Principal repayments of finance leases” of $7,649 million. Amounts for prior periods have not been retrospectively adjusted.
|
(5) |
Free cash flow is cash flow from operations reduced by “Purchases of property and equipment, net of proceeds from property and equipment incentives.” |
(6) |
Free cash flow less principal repayments of finance leases and financing obligations is free cash flow reduced by “Principal repayments of finance leases” and “Principal repayments of financing obligations.” |
(7) |
Free cash flow less equipment finance leases and principal repayments of all other finance leases and financing obligations is free cash flow reduced by equipment acquired under finance leases, which is included in “Property and equipment acquired under finance leases,” principal repayments of all other finance lease liabilities, which is included in “Principal repayments of finance leases,” and “Principal repayments of financing obligations.” |
