    在我們的消費者業務中,對在家工作、學習和娛樂場景的需求增加再次使我們的遊戲、Surface 和 Windows OEM 非專業業務受益。

  • We also saw weakness in small and medium business purchasing, which primarily impacted our transactional Office and Windows OEM Pro businesses, and drove some moderation to our Office 365 Commercial paid seat growth.

    我們還看到中小型企業採購疲軟,這主要影響了我們的事務性 Office 和 Windows OEM Pro 業務,並推動我們的 Office 365 商業付費席位增長有所放緩。

    在與去年同期相比強勁的情況下,商業預訂增長超出預期,同比增長 12%,這得益於持續的續訂執行和大型長期 Azure 合同數量的增加。

  • Our margins this quarter reflect investments to deliver greater customer value in this challenging environment and, therefore, strengthen our long-term competitive position.

    我們本季度的利潤率反映了在這一充滿挑戰的環境中為提供更大的客戶價值而進行的投資,從而加強了我們的長期競爭地位。

    我們投資了雲基礎設施使用能力、關鍵遠程工作場景的免費試用服務以及整個生態系統的靈活融資選項。

    此外,我們重新設想了我們的零售店戰略,因為我們始終專注於增加對未來這些戰略性高增長機會的投資。

  • As a result, company gross margin percentage was down 2 points year-over-year to 68%, with additional impact from lower-margin sales mix.

    因此,公司毛利率同比下降 2 個百分點至 68%,並受到利潤率較低的銷售組合的額外影響。

  • Paid Office 365 commercial seats increased 15% year-over-year, slightly below prior quarter trends.

    付費 Office 365 商業席位同比增長 15%,略低於上一季度的趨勢。

  • This reflects the strong adoption of free trial offers we made to enable customers to quickly adapt to needed remote work scenarios as well as some growth moderation in first-line worker and small and medium business offerings.

    這反映了我們為使客戶能夠快速適應所需的遠程工作場景而提供的免費試用服務的大力採用,以及一線員工和中小型企業產品的增長放緩。

  • Office Consumer revenue grew 6% and 7% in constant currency as stronger-than-expected growth in Office 365 consumer subscriptions was partially offset by transactional weakness.

  • Now before we turn to our outlook, I'd like to update you on a change in accounting estimate to the useful life of server and networking equipment assets in our cloud infrastructure.

    現在,在我們轉向展望之前,我想向您介紹一下會計估計的變化,即我們雲基礎設施中服務器和網絡設備資產的使用壽命。

  • Effective at the start of fiscal year '21, we are extending the depreciable life for these assets to 4 years, which will apply to the asset balances on our balance sheet as of June 30, 2020, as well as future asset purchases.

    自 21 財年伊始,我們將這些資產的折舊年限延長至 4 年,這將適用於我們截至 2020 年 6 月 30 日資產負債表上的資產餘額以及未來的資產購買。

  • This change will not impact historical depreciation expense, the total depreciation expense over the life of the asset or cash flow, but it will impact the timing of depreciation expense in the future for these assets.

    這一變化不會影響歷史折舊費用、資產壽命期內的總折舊費用或現金流量,但會影響這些資產未來折舊費用的時間安排。

  • As a result, based on the outstanding balances as of June 30, we expect fiscal year '21 operating income to be favorably impacted by approximately $900 million in the first quarter and approximately $2.7 billion for the full fiscal year.

    因此,根據截至 6 月 30 日的未償餘額,我們預計 21 財年第一季度的營業收入將受到約 9 億美元和整個財年約 27 億美元的有利影響。

  • This has been included in the guidance we'll provide on today's call, and you will find additional details on the mechanics of the change in our earnings materials.

    這已包含在我們將在今天的電話會議上提供的指導中,您將找到有關我們收益材料變化機制的更多詳細信息。

  • Now let's move to our next-quarter outlook.

    現在讓我們轉向下一季度的展望。

  • In our Commercial business, given our differentiated position in growth markets, we expect continued commitment to our cloud platform as well as strong usage and consumption growth.

    在我們的商業業務中,鑑於我們在增長市場中的差異化地位,我們預計將繼續致力於我們的雲平台以及強勁的使用和消費增長。

  • In our Consumer business, we expect some continued benefit from work-, learn- and play-from-home scenarios in Gaming and Surface, though at a more moderated rate, as stay-at-home guidelines ease in many places around the world.

    在我們的消費者業務中,我們預計遊戲和 Surface 的在家工作、學習和遊戲場景將繼續受益,儘管速度會有所放緩,因為全球許多地方的居家指導方針有所放寬。

  • However, we expect the small- and medium-business weakness we saw in Q4 to continue, which will impact transactional sales, primarily in Office and Windows OEM.

    然而,我們預計我們在第四季度看到的中小企業疲軟將繼續,這將影響交易銷售,主要是在 Office 和 Windows OEM 中。

  • In commercial bookings, growth should again be healthy, but we will be impacted by the strong prior-year comparable and a low growth in the Q1 expiry base.

    在商業預訂方面,增長應該再次健康,但我們將受到去年同期強勁可比和第一季度到期基數低增長的影響。

  • Commercial cloud gross margin percentage will increase approximately 4 points year-over-year from the accounting estimate change noted earlier.

    商業雲毛利率將比之前提到的會計估計變更同比增長約 4 個百分點。

  • Excluding this impact, continued improvement in Azure IaaS and PaaS gross margin percentage will be mostly offset by revenue mix shift to Azure.

    排除這種影響,Azure IaaS 和 PaaS 毛利率的持續改善將大部分被收入組合轉移到 Azure 所抵消。

  • And on a dollar basis, we expect capital expenditures to be roughly in line with last quarter to support the growing usage and demand for our cloud services.

    以美元計算,我們預計資本支出將與上一季度大致持平,以支持對我們雲服務不斷增長的使用和需求。

  • Next, to FX.

    接下來,到外匯。

  • Based on current rates, FX should decrease total company, Productivity and Business Process and Intelligent Cloud revenue growth by approximately 1 point and have no impact on More Personal Computing revenue, total company COGS and operating expense growth.

    根據目前的費率,FX 應該會降低公司總收入、生產力和業務流程以及智能雲收入增長約 1 個百分點,並且對更多個人計算收入、公司總銷貨成本和運營費用增長沒有影響。

  • Now to the segment guidance.

    現在進行細分指導。

  • In Productivity and Business Processes, we expect revenue between $11.65 billion and $11.9 billion.

    在生產力和業務流程方面,我們預計收入在 116.5 億美元至 119 億美元之間。

    在 Office Commercial 方面,與上一年的可比強勁相比,Office 365 將再次推動收入增長,並有繼續向 E5 追加銷售的機會。

  • However, growth will be impacted by a decline of approximately 30% in our on-premises business driven by the transactional weakness in small and medium businesses noted earlier.

    但是,由於前面提到的中小型企業交易疲軟,我們的本地業務下降約 30% 將影響增長。

  • In Office Consumer, we expect revenue to be relatively unchanged year-over-year as subscription growth will be offset by a decline in our transactional business.

    在 Office Consumer 方面,我們預計收入同比將保持相對不變,因為訂閱增長將被我們交易業務的下降所抵消。

  • In LinkedIn, we expect low to mid-single-digit revenue growth, primarily from weak bookings and, therefore, revenue growth in the Talent Solutions business.

    在LinkedIn,我們預計收入將出現中低個位數增長,這主要是由於預訂量疲軟,因此人才解決方案業務的收入增長。

  • And in Dynamics, continued Dynamics 365 momentum from our modern and intelligent solutions will drive revenue growth in the low double digits.

    在 Dynamics 方面,我們現代智能解決方案帶來的 Dynamics 365 持續發展勢頭將推動收入以兩位數的低位增長。

  • For Intelligent Cloud, we expect revenue between $12.55 billion and $12.8 billion.

    對於智能雲,我們預計收入在 125.5 億美元至 128 億美元之間。

    在我們的每用戶業務中,我們預計 Microsoft 365 套件的勢頭將繼續受益,儘管增長將再次受到安裝基數不斷擴大的影響。

    在更多個人計算方面,我們預計收入在 109.5 億美元至 113.5 億美元之間。

  • In our Windows OEM business, we expect revenue to decline in the low teens range, impacted by the strong prior-year comparable that benefited from the end of support for Windows 7 as well as the continued slowdown in small and medium businesses.

    在我們的 Windows OEM 業務中,我們預計收入將在十幾歲以下的範圍內下降,這受到了強勁的上一年可比性的影響,這得益於對 Windows 7 的支持的結束以及中小型企業的持續放緩。

  • In Windows Commercial products and cloud services, we expect healthy double-digit growth from continued Microsoft 365 momentum and the value of our advanced security offerings.

    在 Windows 商業產品和雲服務方面,我們預計 Microsoft 365 的持續發展勢頭和我們高級安全產品的價值將實現兩位數的健康增長。

  • In Surface, solid demand against a low prior-year comparable that was impacted by product life cycle transitions should drive growth in the mid-teens.

    在 Surface 方面,受產品生命週期轉換影響的去年同期較低的可比需求的強勁需求應該會推動 10 歲左右的增長。

  • In Search ex TAC, we expect revenue to decline in the low 20% range.

    在 Search ex TAC 中,我們預計收入將在 20% 的較低範圍內下降。

  • And in Gaming, we expect revenue growth in the high teens with continued strong user engagement across the platform.

    在遊戲方面,我們預計隨著整個平台用戶持續強勁的參與度,青少年收入將增長。

  • Now back to overall company guidance.

    現在回到整體公司指導。

  • We expect COGS of $10.75 billion to $10.95 billion and operating expense of $10.7 billion to $10.8 billion with continued investment against our significant long-term ambition.

    我們預計 COGS 為 107.5 億美元至 109.5 億美元,運營費用為 107 億美元至 108 億美元,持續投資與我們重大的長期目標相悖。

  • Other income and expense should be negative $50 million as interest expense is expected to more than offset interest income.

    其他收入和支出應為負 5000 萬美元,因為預計利息支出將超過利息收入。

  • And finally, we expect our Q1 tax rate to be approximately 16%, lower than our expected full-year rate, given the volume of equity vests in our first quarter.

    最後,鑑於我們第一季度的股權歸屬量,我們預計第一季度的稅率約為 16%,低於我們預期的全年稅率。

  • In closing, we are committed to our customers' success in these challenging times and to managing the company for long-term growth and profitability.

    最後,我們致力於幫助客戶在這些充滿挑戰的時代取得成功,並致力於管理公司以實現長期增長和盈利。

  • We will continue to expand our cloud infrastructure to support the growing customer usage and demand across our differentiated cloud offerings.

    我們將繼續擴展我們的雲基礎設施,以支持我們差異化雲產品中不斷增長的客戶使用和需求。

  • And given our strong execution and growing competitive advantage in high-growth areas, we remain committed to investing against the long-term opportunity ahead of us.

  • A very nice quarter.

    一個非常好的季度。

  • Satya, I was hoping you could help us with your view of what the enterprise spending environment looks like through this difficult period.

    Satya,我希望你能幫助我們了解企業支出環境在這個困難時期的樣子。

  • On one side of the equation, we have very good secular trends that are still very well in place.

    在等式的一方面,我們有非常好的長期趨勢,這些趨勢仍然很好。

  • And like you said, digital transformation is accelerating.

    正如您所說,數字化轉型正在加速。

  • On the other side though, we do have difficult macro conditions out there, and we're seeing it in places like SMB and the like.

    但另一方面,我們確實有困難的宏觀條件,我們在 SMB 等地方看到了它。

    Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

  • Thank you, Keith, for the question.

    謝謝你,基思,這個問題。

  • The thing that at least we have learned, I would say, in the last 5 months is that digital technology is no longer viewed as just new project starts, but it's becoming perhaps the most key for business resilience.

    我想說,在過去的 5 個月裡,至少我們了解到的是,數字技術不再被視為只是新項目的開始,它可能正在成為業務彈性的最關鍵。

  • Business continuity obviously is a board-level discussion everywhere.

    業務連續性顯然是無處不在的董事會級別的討論。

  • But I don't think digital tech as sort of being key to business resilience was the #1 priority whereas now it is.

    但我不認為數字技術作為業務彈性的關鍵是第一要務,而現在它是。

  • So I think that that's, I think, what -- when I think about digital transformation now, I break it into 2 things.

    所以我認為這就是,我認為,當我現在考慮數字化轉型時,我將其分為兩件事。

  • I think about resilience and all of sort of what Microsoft can do to help any business be more resilient, whether it's remote everything, whether it's about their ability to simulate anything, automate everything, those are the things that I think are going to increase.

    我想到了彈性和微軟可以做的所有事情來幫助任何企業變得更有彈性,無論是遠程的一切,無論是他們模擬任何事情、自動化一切的能力,這些都是我認為將會增加的事情。

  • Then, of course, there is how you readjust to what is going to be an increased e-commerce, contactless, reimagined world, reconfigured supply chain.

    然後,當然,還有你如何重新調整以適應日益增長的電子商務、非接觸式、重新構想的世界、重新配置的供應鏈。

  • So in both of those are secular tailwinds, but no one can take away from sort of the fact that GDP is going to be negative.

    因此,這兩者都是長期的順風,但沒有人可以擺脫 GDP 將是負數的事實。

  • So that's why I think you're going to see lots of ins and outs.

    所以這就是為什麼我認為你會看到很多細節。

  • But digital technology by -- and digital transformation itself is going to be pretty key.

    但是數字技術——以及數字化轉型本身將是非常關鍵的。

  • And therefore, we are very focused on sharpening the value proposition of every part of the stack I described and making sure we are there for our customers as they navigate these tough times.

    因此,我們非常專注於提升我所描述的堆棧的每個部分的價值主張,並確保我們在客戶度過這些艱難時期時為他們服務。

  • And Keith, maybe just to add to that a little bit, and I think you saw that in our bookings growth for the quarter and, increasingly, I think people will start to focus as well on the remaining performance obligations.

    基思,也許只是補充一點,我認為你在我們本季度的預訂量增長中看到了這一點,而且我認為人們也將開始越來越關注剩餘的履約義務。

  • You're starting to see this commitment both in the next 12 months and then in the 12 months past that.

    您將在接下來的 12 個月和之後的 12 個月中開始看到這一承諾。

  • And so we are -- obviously, you'll see some volatility in that from the longer-term larger contracts we had talked about.

    所以我們 - 顯然,你會從我們討論過的長期大合同中看到一些波動。

  • But we did, in Q4, have more of that closed than we anticipated.

    但我們確實在第四季度關閉了比我們預期的更多的東西。

  • I was just wondering, Satya and Amy, just given the success that you guys have in expanding your footprint with customers, is there any sense that you could [fill] with us -- some people talk about net expansion rates, right?

    我只是想知道,Satya 和 Amy,剛剛考慮到你們在擴大客戶足跡方面所取得的成功,你們有什麼感覺可以[填補]我們 - 有些人談論淨擴張率,對嗎?

  • Just wondering if you guys have a way of helping investors think about kind of the net expansion rate from your existing customers on an annual basis just given the success you're having with things like Azure hybrid benefits and migrations to the cloud.

    只是想知道你們是否有辦法幫助投資者考慮現有客戶每年的淨擴張率,因為你們在 Azure 混合收益和遷移到雲等方面取得了成功。

  • So any way for us to help think through that would be really helpful.

    因此,任何幫助我們思考的方法都會非常有幫助。

  • Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

    Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

  • Amy, maybe I'll start and then you can add.

    艾米,也許我會開始,然後你可以添加。

  • I mean the way at least we think about the core, Heather, as far as how we are architecting what we're doing here, and that's one of the reasons why even I structured my remarks the way I structured them, which is each of these layers is being built obviously to reinforce the other layer.

    我的意思是至少我們思考核心的方式,Heather,就我們如何構建我們在這裡所做的事情而言,這就是為什麼我什至按照我構建它們的方式來構建我的評論的原因之一,這是每個這些層顯然是為了加強另一層而建造的。

  • But each layer is independent.

    但是每一層都是獨立的。

  • It's -- and we recognize that enterprises are very heterogeneous.

    這是——而且我們認識到企業是非常多樣化的。

  • They're going to choose multiple layers from multiple vendors, and interoperability will be key.

    他們將從多個供應商那裡選擇多個層,互操作性將是關鍵。

  • But we have a very differentiated value proposition.

    但我們有一個非常差異化的價值主張。

  • I mean even in this quarter, if you think about the number of customers who started with Teams, built a Power application, in fact had Azure, GitHub, Power DevOps on top of that code base and then used Azure Synapse all in one solution.

    我的意思是即使在本季度,如果您考慮一下從 Teams 開始、構建 Power 應用程序、實際上在該代碼庫之上擁有 Azure、GitHub、Power DevOps,然後在一個解決方案中使用 Azure Synapse 的客戶數量。

  • So you can see that power of our stack.

    所以你可以看到我們堆棧的力量。

  • So each layer is architected such that it reinforces the other, and we see increasing adoption, including all of these layers.

    因此,每一層的架構都是為了加強另一層,我們看到越來越多的採用,包括所有這些層。

  • But I think in the numbers, when we talk about each of the numbers and the growth rates for each of the numbers, that in some sense showcases that.

    但我認為在數字中,當我們談論每個數字和每個數字的增長率時,這在某種意義上展示了這一點。

  • But maybe, Amy, you want to add more to that.

    但也許,艾米,你想添加更多。

  • Amy E. Hood - Executive VP & CFO

    Amy E. Hood - Executive VP & CFO

  • Yes.

    是的。

  • I think the other way to think about it, Heather, and we do, I know, talk about it a little bit every quarter, there are 2 main motions that we focus a lot on here: number one, are we adding new customers; and number two, are we adding workloads within customers.

    我認為換一種方式來考慮,Heather,我們確實,我知道,每個季度都會討論一下,我們在這裡非常關注兩個主要動議:第一,我們是否增加了新客戶;第二,我們是否在客戶內部增加了工作負載。

  • And I think you'll increasingly hear us talk about the number of customers who are purchasing multiple components of the cloud, whether that's Microsoft 365, Azure, the Power Platform Satya just talked about, developer SaaS or GitHub and then numerous cloud opportunities within Dynamics 365.

    而且我認為您會越來越多地聽到我們談論購買多個雲組件的客戶數量,無論是 Microsoft 365、Azure、剛剛談到的 Power Platform Satya、開發人員 SaaS 或 GitHub,然後是 Dynamics 中的眾多雲機會365.

  • So I think the way I tend to think about it is, is revenue per customer going up?

    所以我認為我傾向於考慮的方式是,每位客戶的收入是否會增加?

  • Yes.

    是的。

  • And are we adding new customers?

    我們是否在增加新客戶?

  • Yes.

    是的。

  • And do we feel like we still have room to add additional clouds?

    我們是否覺得我們仍有空間添加額外的雲?

  • I think that will be sort of the language you'll hear us talk through this year.

    我認為這將是你今年會聽到我們談論的語言。

  • This quarter, your CFO was a strong standout.

  • We did have, as you saw -- and we have had very consistent performance in our cash flow from operations.

    正如你所看到的,我們確實有——而且我們在運營現金流方面的表現非常一致。

  • And I think a lot of that, as you've noted, has to do with where that strength is coming from, which is, overall it's cloud billings, it's usage, it's consumption-based growth.

    正如你所指出的,我認為這在很大程度上與這種力量的來源有關,即總體而言,它是雲計費、使用量、基於消費的增長。

  • We do have, as you noted, a lot of exposure to enterprise.

    正如您所指出的,我們確實對企業有很多了解。

  • That has tended to perform quite well.

    這往往表現得很好。

  • And we did extend, and I mentioned it in our call in the prepared remarks, a lot of financing options to customers as well.

    我們確實擴展了,我在準備好的評論中的電話會議中提到了它,也為客戶提供了很多融資選擇。

  • So I feel like we are taking an appropriately balanced approach here and really focusing more on customer enablement.

    所以我覺得我們在這裡採取了適當平衡的方法,並真正更加關注客戶支持。

  • And so we could see some impact, but I think the broad portfolio, Mark, and broad geographic exposure probably has benefited us on CFO.

  • Amy and Satya, you noticed the strong growth in the E5 SKU around Office 365 over the last year.

    Amy 和 Satya,你們注意到去年圍繞 Office 365 的 E5 SKU 的強勁增長。

  • Can you just talk perhaps a little bit more specifically about how Teams is perhaps changing the discussion around productivity more broadly, how that's maybe raising your profile even more from a strategic perspective as customers start thinking about how sort of collaboration is going to change in this new world, both in the short and the long term?

    您能否更具體地談談 Teams 如何更廣泛地改變圍繞生產力的討論,當客戶開始考慮這種協作方式將如何改變時,這可能如何從戰略角度進一步提升您的形象新世界,無論是短期還是長期?

  • Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

    Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

  • Sure, Kirk.

    當然,柯克。

  • The approach we took with Teams always was to not just think of this as just a chat application, right?

    我們對 Teams 採取的方法始終不僅僅是將其視為聊天應用程序,對嗎?

  • I mean we thought about messaging obviously is important.

    我的意思是我們認為消息傳遞顯然很重要。

  • But we said, okay, we had to reimagine how people communicate using both chat as well as video and then, most importantly, how people collaborate in meetings, outside meetings, before and after.

    但是我們說,好吧,我們必須重新想像人們如何使用聊天和視頻進行交流,然後,最重要的是,人們如何在會議、會議之外、之前和之後進行協作。

  • So that's sort of the second element.

    這就是第二個要素。

  • And third, think about business process and workflows dominating inside of the scaffolding of Teams, and then building it with the same compliance and security base of Microsoft 365.

    第三,考慮在 Teams 腳手架內占主導地位的業務流程和工作流,然後使用與 Microsoft 365 相同的合規性和安全基礎來構建它。

  • So yes, absolutely.

    所以是的,絕對的。

  • So first of all, Microsoft 365 has entered many new categories.

    所以首先,Microsoft 365 進入了很多新的品類。

  • They're all part of our Microsoft 365 value.

    它們都是我們 Microsoft 365 價值的一部分。

  • And so with that and the architectural coherence of Microsoft 365 because, in some sense, complexity, security risk, management costs, these are all real things for enterprises, especially if you've got to go remote everything.

    因此,有了 Microsoft 365 的架構一致性,因為在某種意義上,複雜性、安全風險、管理成本,這些對於企業來說都是真實的事情,特別是如果你必須遠程處理所有事情。

  • So I feel that we have a great value proposition for customers at a time of most acute need where they want to go remote, they need that flexibility when there is hybrid work and yet, they want the low-cost management and high security and compliance.

    所以我覺得我們在客戶最迫切需要遠程辦公的時候為他們提供了一個很好的價值主張,他們在混合工作時需要這種靈活性,但他們想要低成本的管理以及高安全性和合規性.

  • So I think we have a differentiated offer there.

    所以我認為我們在那裡有一個差異化的報價。

  • And I'll turn it to Amy if she wanted to add anything to that as well.

    如果她也想添加任何東西,我會把它交給艾米。

  • Amy E. Hood - Executive VP & CFO

    Amy E. Hood - Executive VP & CFO

  • No.

    不。

  • I actually think the other component, Satya, that I would mention is really the transition we've seen from just Office 365 E5 to Microsoft 365 E5 with the entirety of the value proposition.

    實際上,我認為我要提到的另一個組件 Satya 確實是我們所看到的從 Office 365 E5 到具有全部價值主張的 Microsoft 365 E5 的轉變。

  • This, I think, has been a pivotal year.

    我認為,今年是關鍵的一年。

  • And again, in Q4, we saw even more transition in the SKU mix to the Microsoft 365 SKU than just simply the Office SKU.

    同樣,在第四季度,我們看到 SKU 組合向 Microsoft 365 SKU 的轉變不僅僅是 Office SKU。

    我有一個給薩蒂亞的。

  • I'm curious how you would assess the net impact of the current environment on Azure, inclusive of potentially lower consumption growth among highly impacted industries and, of course, the per-seat moderation in EMS, offset by some acceleration in digital transformation more broadly among other customers.

    我很好奇您將如何評估當前環境對 Azure 的淨影響,包括受高度影響的行業中潛在的較低消費增長,當然還有 EMS 中的每座緩和,被更廣泛的數字化轉型的一些加速所抵消在其他客戶中。

  • In addition, I was curious if you're seeing more pay-as-you-go-type arrangements for Azure than you were previously.

    此外,我很好奇您是否看到比以前更多的 Azure 即用即付型安排。

  • Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

    Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

  • Thanks for the question.

    謝謝你的問題。

  • Overall, as I said, even in industries that have been impacted, say, economically, one of the things is -- getting to the new efficient frontier of cloud economics is one way for them to, in fact, do better as they get into recovery, right?

    總的來說,正如我所說,即使在受到經濟影響的行業中,其中一件事是——進入雲經濟的新有效前沿是他們在進入時做得更好的一種方式。恢復,對吧?

  • So one of the things that we are seeing, in fact, is some acceleration even of getting rid of the old and getting to the efficient frontier so that then they can recover faster.

    因此,事實上,我們看到的其中一件事是加速擺脫舊事物並進入有效前沿,以便它們能夠更快地恢復。

  • That doesn't mean that some places where there is absolute real shutdown of economic activity, there isn't a slowdown.

    這並不意味著在某些經濟活動絕對真正關閉的地方,沒有放緩。

  • But where people are looking to say using even that as an opportunity to come out stronger, we do see that.

    但是,人們甚至希望將其作為一個變得更強大的機會,我們確實看到了這一點。

  • For sure, pay-as-you-go on Azure is going to increase and is increasing.

    可以肯定的是,Azure 上的現收現付將越來越多。

  • And we are fundamentally focused on wherever people want to have those long-term commitments as well as pay-as-you-go customers.

    我們從根本上關注人們希望獲得這些長期承諾的地方以及現收現付的客戶。

  • So we don't, in some sense, discriminate between the two.

    因此,在某種意義上,我們不區分這兩者。

  • What we want to be able to just stay focused on is quarter-over-quarter consumption growth by adding value to customers' digital transformation projects.

    我們希望能夠專注於通過為客戶的數字化轉型項目增加價值來實現季度消費增長。

  • Amy E. Hood - Executive VP & CFO

    Amy E. Hood - Executive VP & CFO

  • And I would add maybe, Gregg, a little context is we have been seeing a transition to pay-as-you-go probably for the majority of this year as opposed to saying it has more recently just emerged as a trend.

    格雷格,我想補充一點,可能是在今年的大部分時間裡,我們一直在看到向現收現付的過渡,而不是說它最近才剛剛成為一種趨勢。

  • So I wanted to make sure to decouple those a teeny bit.

    所以我想確保將它們解耦。

  • And I think in general for us, this quarter, the consumption patterns were very, very similar actually to what we expected, to Satya's note, with the pressure to, I think, move to this new frontier being really at the forefront of people's minds, far more so than maybe a discussion on per-user impacts.

    我認為總的來說,對於我們來說,本季度的消費模式實際上與我們的預期非常非常相似,正如 Satya 所說,我認為,轉移到這個新領域的壓力確實是人們最關心的問題,遠遠超過關於每個用戶影響的討論。

    布倫特,我想說的方式是我們的重點,特別是考慮到 - 它是什麼,全球 GDP 為負 10%,你可以選擇你的時間框架。

  • Right now what I would like us to focus on in the interest of our long-term investors is to say, how can we build this modern tech stack so that it can really capture -- both help customers transform, be resilient and help us get into new categories and build a strong position in those categories.

    現在,為了我們的長期投資者的利益,我希望我們關注的是,我們如何構建這個現代技術堆棧,以便它能夠真正捕捉到——既幫助客戶轉型,保持彈性,又幫助我們獲得進入新的類別並在這些類別中建立強勢地位。

  • So my own approach to this would be not to worry as much about short term, whether it's the growth number because when you are growing compared to where GDP is, healthily and competitively, the growth number is high.

    所以我自己的方法是不要太擔心短期,無論是增長數字,因為當你與GDP相比,健康和有競爭力的增長時,增長數字很高。

  • I'm not trying to match some artificial double-digit growth number, and nor are we trying to sort of think about a margin target because, in some sense, the world needs to do well for us to do well in the long run.

    我不是試圖匹配一些人為的兩位數增長數字,我們也不是試圖考慮利潤率目標,因為從某種意義上說,從長遠來看,世界需要做得好才能讓我們做得好。

  • You'll see it in capital expenditure based on demand.

    您將在基於需求的資本支出中看到它。

  • You'll see it in the operating expense line.

    您將在運營費用行中看到它。

  • And a lot of the margin movement you're going to see is going to be actually far more sales mix than it is to think about it as margins going down in a particular product.

    您將看到的許多利潤率變動實際上將是更多的銷售組合,而不是考慮到特定產品的利潤率下降。

  • So for me, it's really about in every product are we investing with a strong position, with a clearer view of the future in a way that we can be a more important part of every customer's budget.

    所以對我來說,真正重要的是,我們在每一種產品中都以強勢地位進行投資,對未來有更清晰的看法,從而使我們可以成為每個客戶預算中更重要的一部分。

  • The lead times there have gotten tighter over time, and so you can generally think they'll be more correlated.

    隨著時間的推移,交貨時間變得越來越緊,因此您通常可以認為它們會更加相關。

  • But obviously, there's some demand planning that we like to give ourselves ample room.

    但很明顯,我們希望有一些需求計劃給自己足夠的空間。

  • Our last question comes from Raimo Lenschow with Barclays.

  • Congrats as well.

    也恭喜。

  • A quick one for me.

    對我來說是一個快速的。

  • Like, can you talk a little bit about gaming?

    比如,你能談談遊戲嗎?

  • So this quarter was kind of, we saw very, very strong numbers but -- and before, like, it's slightly weaker because of the tougher comps.

    所以這個季度有點,我們看到了非常非常強勁的數字,但是 - 之前,因為更艱難的比賽,它稍微弱了一點。

  • But like, how do you think about that cycle of growth that you get out of Gaming?

    但是,您如何看待您從遊戲中獲得的增長周期?

  • And if we should be getting more stable with more recurring revenue?

    如果我們應該通過更多的經常性收入變得更加穩定?

  • Just talk a little bit about the dynamics there a little bit.

    稍微談談那裡的動態。

  • Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

  • Sure.

    當然。

  • I'll start.

    我會開始的。

  • I mean our overall vision that we have sort of been talking about for, quite frankly, multiple years and building out with, in particular, our Game Pass strategy, that's what we are going for.

    我的意思是我們的總體願景,坦率地說,多年來我們一直在談論,特別是我們的遊戲通行證戰略,這就是我們的目標。

  • This Gaming TAM is much more expansive than what we participated in, even with all of the success we had with Xbox.

    這個遊戲 TAM 比我們參與的要廣泛得多,即使我們在 Xbox 上取得了所有成功。

  • So we think going forward Xbox, with the approach we are taking, has much more of an ability to reach the 2-plus billion gamers out there, and we are in the early days of building that out.

    因此,我們認為,通過我們正在採取的方法,Xbox 未來更有能力接觸到超過 20 億的遊戲玩家,而我們正處於構建它的早期階段。

  • And so this quarter, of course, will stand out for many of the reasons because of the remote nature of how a lot of the activity happened.

    因此,由於許多活動發生的偏遠性質,本季度當然會因為許多原因而脫穎而出。

  • But -- and also, we have a new console that's very much part of our strategy.

    但是——而且,我們有一個新的控制台,這是我們戰略的重要組成部分。

  • But we go beyond the console to the PC.

    但我們超越了控制台,來到了 PC。

  • We go to mobile and we have the streaming service.

    我們去移動,我們有流媒體服務。

  • So all of these accrue to what we think, in the long run, is going to be a much bigger addressable market.

    因此,從長遠來看,我們認為所有這些都將成為一個更大的潛在市場。

  • And we have a great structural position.

    我們有一個很好的結構位置。

  • We have a social network in Xbox Live.

    我們在 Xbox Live 中有一個社交網絡。

  • Obviously, we have a store that monetizes super well as well as we have the Game Pass subscription.

    顯然,我們有一家可以很好地獲利的商店,以及我們有 Game Pass 訂閱。

  • So Amy, if you wanted to add to that.

    所以艾米,如果你想補充一點。

  • Maybe just a few things, which is, when I think about Gaming and where we are at this point, the reason it's so exciting is because I think this quarter reinforces that we have such platform strength built on the view, the support we have of fans of the console.

    也許只有幾件事,也就是說,當我想到遊戲以及我們目前所處的位置時,它如此令人興奮的原因是因為我認為本季度加強了我們擁有建立在觀點之上的平台實力,我們擁有的支持控制台的粉絲。

  • We've extended that and begun to extend it to the PC.

    我們已經對此進行了擴展,並開始將其擴展到 PC。

  • We're extending it to mobile.

    我們正在將其擴展到移動設備。

  • That platform strength will drive this more annuity-like behavior that you're thinking about, which is great.

    這種平台實力將推動您正在考慮的這種更像年金的行為,這很棒。

  • And we saw that in the Game Pass subscription growth again this quarter, building on that base.

    在此基礎上,我們在本季度再次看到 Game Pass 訂閱增長。

  • But then the third-party titles will drive some volatility, but that volatility is just reinforcing of the position we have and I think the long relationship with fans.

    但是第三方遊戲會引發一些波動,但這種波動只是加強了我們的立場,我認為與粉絲的長期關係。

  • So I think we're all pretty excited.

    所以我認為我們都很興奮。

  • I think Satya called it pivotal.

    我認為薩蒂亞稱之為關鍵。

  • I think it certainly is, and we're certainly looking forward to the next console release as well.

    我認為肯定是這樣,我們當然也期待下一個控制台版本。
