  • In search ex TAC, we expect revenue growth similar to Q2.

    在不含 TAC 的搜索中,我們預計收入增長與第二季度相似。

    最後,由於股權歸屬的時機,我們預計第三季度的有效稅率將略低於全年 17% 的稅率。

  • Congratulations on a really strong quarter.

    祝賀一個非常強勁的季度。

  • I'd like to look at Azure.

    我想看看 Azure。

  • Can you give a little bit of more details on what's driving the Q-over-Q acceleration in the revenue growth?

    您能否詳細說明是什麼推動了收入增長的 Q-over-Q 加速?

  • Are we seeing large contracts starting to ramp?

    我們是否看到大型合同開始增加?

  • Are there other factors that are kicking in that are helping that?

    是否還有其他正在起作用的因素對此有所幫助?

  • And Satya, can you also give us some sense of what you think about the impact, if xCloud is successful on Azure?

  • Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

    Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

  • Sure.

    當然。

  • Thanks, Mark, for the question.

    謝謝,馬克,這個問題。

  • I think overall, in terms of the Azure momentum, it's sort of the thing that we have seen even in the previous quarters so, which is we have a stack that is -- from infrastructure to the PaaS services that's fairly differentiated.

    我認為總體而言,就 Azure 的發展勢頭而言,我們甚至在前幾個季度也看到了這種情況,也就是說,我們有一個堆棧——從基礎設施到 PaaS 服務,這是相當差異化的。

  • I mean I went through some of the things that we even announced at our Ignite Conference.

    我的意思是我經歷了我們甚至在 Ignite 大會上宣布的一些事情。

  • Take something like Azure Arc.

    以 Azure Arc 之類的為例。

  • The fact that we have a control plane for hybrid computing that is multi-cloud, multi-edge, that's a pretty differentiated aspect of it.

    事實上,我們有一個用於混合計算的控制平面,它是多雲、多邊緣的,這是它的一個非常不同的方面。

  • And the data side, both on the transactions on the OLTP side as well as on the analytics side, we now have cloud-native databases.

    在數據方面,無論是在 OLTP 方面的事務還是在分析方面,我們現在都擁有云原生數據庫。

  • And Azure Synapse, I think, is a very competitive product.

    我認為 Azure Synapse 是一款非常有競爭力的產品。

  • So that's what you see play out in terms of a customer adoption and the growth there.

    這就是您在客戶採用和增長方面看到的結果。

  • xCloud, I think, is a great workload.

    我認為 xCloud 是一項巨大的工作量。

  • I mean we always have the mantra of first party equals third party, whether it is any of the workloads internally really helping us understand the new patterns, which then, of course, third parties can use.

    我的意思是我們總是有第一方等於第三方的口頭禪,無論是內部的任何工作負載真正幫助我們理解新模式,然後第三方當然可以使用。

  • And you can see that even in terms of how Sony will use some of the same infrastructure capabilities.

    即使就索尼將如何使用某些相同的基礎設施功能而言,您也可以看到這一點。

  • So we are excited about what xCloud teaches us but more importantly, we're excited about how others in the ecosystem can use the same capability for their streaming needs.

    因此,我們對 xCloud 教給我們的東西感到興奮,但更重要的是,我們對生態系統中的其他人如何使用相同的功能來滿足他們的流媒體需求感到興奮。

  • And Mark, to your question on -- a little bit about the reacceleration in the Azure growth rate, let me divide that into its components.

    馬克,關於你的問題——關於 Azure 增長率的重新加速,讓我把它分成它的組成部分。

  • We did have a very good and healthy, broad-based consumption growth, especially in IaaS and PaaS.

    我們確實有一個非常好的和健康的、基礎廣泛的消費增長,尤其是在 IaaS 和 PaaS 方面。

  • I think actually, Satya touched on 1 of the important parts that we started to see this quarter was not only good workload migration work, strong growth and the optimization of the workloads already running but also some of these new PaaS workloads like Synapse and Cosmos DB and Arc are really starting to add some momentum in that part of the stack as well, which is important.

    我認為實際上,Satya 談到了我們在本季度開始看到的一個重要部分,不僅是良好的工作負載遷移工作、強勁的增長和已經運行的工作負載的優化,而且還有一些新的 PaaS 工作負載,如 Synapse 和 Cosmos DB並且 Arc 也確實開始在堆棧的那部分添加一些動力,這很重要。

  • The SaaS component or the per user component also tends to be where you'll get some variability as well.

    SaaS 組件或每用戶組件也往往是您將獲得一些可變性的地方。

  • We did have a good SaaS component quarter in addition to the healthy base, and that does result in some movement in that number from quarter-to-quarter.

    除了健康的基礎之外,我們確實有一個良好的 SaaS 組件季度,這確實導致該數字從季度到季度有所變化。

  • And in particular, I think Microsoft 365 suite actually, and the momentum we've got in security and management and mobility is a big contributor to that.

    特別是,我認為實際上是 Microsoft 365 套件,我們在安全性、管理和移動性方面的發展勢頭是其中的一個重要因素。

  • And of course, just the type of contracts that get signed, whether that's for the consumption layer, in particular, can have some impact quarter-to-quarter in a couple of points.

    當然,只是簽署的合同類型,特別是對於消費層,可能會在幾個點上產生一些季度到季度的影響。

  • So there will be some variability in that number, but the underlying fundamentals across both the consumption and per user were quite good.

    所以這個數字會有一些變化,但消費和每用戶的基本面都相當好。

  • Our next question comes from the line of Keith Weiss with Morgan Stanley.

  • Sorry, guys, I was on mute.

    對不起,伙計們,我靜音了。

  • A very, very nice quarter.

    一個非常非常好的季度。

  • Coming out of the Ignite conference, I wanted to sort of get your views on progress with developers broadly, particularly after the GitHub acquisition.

    在 Ignite 會議結束後,我想了解一下您對開發人員的廣泛進展的看法,尤其是在 GitHub 收購之後。

  • Can you talk to us a little bit about how that kind of impacted your traction with stuff like DevOps Studio and your developer tools?

    你能和我們談談這如何影響你對 DevOps Studio 和你的開發者工具等東西的吸引力嗎?

  • And also, how that's kind of changed the dynamic around Azure?

    而且,這如何改變了圍繞 Azure 的動態?

  • Has that become a real competitive differentiation and change at all the competitive dynamic with guys like AWS and GCP out there in the marketplace?

    這是否已成為真正的競爭差異化並改變了市場上 AWS 和 GCP 等公司的所有競爭動態?

  • Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

    Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

  • Yes.

    首先,感謝基思的提問。

  • We are very excited about what's happening with the developer offering.

    我們對開發者產品正在發生的事情感到非常興奮。

  • I mean at some level, I think of what we're doing between Visual Studio and Azure DevOps and GitHub as effectively coming together as a compelling developer SaaS solution in the same class as any other SaaS solution from Microsoft around productivity or communication because 1 of the data points I love to use is the number of developers in the non-tech sector is now more than in the tech sector.

    我的意思是在某種程度上,我認為我們在 Visual Studio 和 Azure DevOps 和 GitHub 之間所做的事情,就像一個引人注目的開發人員 SaaS 解決方案一樣有效地結合在一起,與 Microsoft 圍繞生產力或通信的任何其他 SaaS 解決方案在同一級別,因為 1我喜歡使用的數據點是,非技術部門的開發人員數量現在超過了技術部門。

  • This is software engineers and that's going to only increase in the world going forward.

    這是軟件工程師,並且在未來的世界中只會增加。

  • So we want to build the best tool chain.

    所以我們想建立最好的工具鏈。

  • After all, that's who we are as a company.

    畢竟,這就是我們作為一家公司的身份。

  • We love building tools for developers.

    我們喜歡為開發人員構建工具。

  • And so -- and by the way, we're not focused only on Azure.

    所以——順便說一下,我們不僅僅關注 Azure。

  • For developers who use our tool chain, they can target any cloud, any edge device, and so this is not sort of means to some end.

    對於使用我們工具鏈的開發人員,他們可以針對任何云、任何邊緣設備,因此這不是達到某種目的的手段。

  • We've always been clear about it.

    我們一直都很清楚。

  • It's an end to itself.

    它本身就是一個終結。

  • But that said, of course, having this tool chain will help us overall, both with essentially what is, by itself, a high-margin tool as a SaaS business as well as, of course, developers who are going to be in our ecosystem.

    但這就是說,當然,擁有這個工具鏈將對我們整體有所幫助,無論是本質上本身是作為 SaaS 業務的高利潤工具,還是將在我們的生態系統中的開發人員.

  • But we want to stay true to that ethos of open source, GitHub and do the best tools.

    但我們希望忠於開源、GitHub 的精神,並做最好的工具。

  • In fact, just this last quarter, you saw even some of the tools being adopted by Facebook engineering, and that's, I think, a testament to the progress that's been made by Microsoft.

    事實上,就在上個季度,你甚至看到了 Facebook 工程部門採用的一些工具,我認為,這證明了微軟取得的進步。

    Karl Emil Keirstead - Director and Senior Equity Research Analyst

  • Amy, I'd love to ask you a gross margin question.

    艾米,我想問你一個毛利率問題。

  • Beginning in your third quarter or the current March quarter, we've been bracing for gross margins to trend flat or even down year-over-year, given the sales mix shifts that you and your IR team have long warned us about.

    從您的第三季度或當前的 3 月季度開始,鑑於您和您的 IR 團隊長期以來一直警告我們的銷售組合變化,我們一直在為毛利率趨於平穩甚至同比下降做準備。

  • Yet when I take your revs guide and your COGS guide, it equates to 3Q gross margins of 68%, which are actually up about 150 bps year-over-year.

    然而,當我採用您的轉速指南和 COGS 指南時,它相當於 68% 的第三季度毛利率,實際上同比增長了約 150 個基點。

  • So I just wanted to understand what's going on.

    所以我只是想了解發生了什麼。

  • Is it that the higher gross margin businesses are decelerating at a slower-than-expected pace in your second half?

    是不是毛利率較高的業務在下半年以低於預期的速度減速?

  • Or perhaps the pace of Azure gross margin improvement is greater than you thought?

    或者 Azure 毛利率提升的速度可能比你想像的要快?

  • A little color there might be helpful.

    有一點顏色可能會有所幫助。

  • Amy E. Hood - Executive VP & CFO

    Amy E. Hood - Executive VP & CFO

  • Thanks, Karl.

    謝謝,卡爾。

  • Really, when you see the gross margin changes, it all comes down to sales mix.

    真的,當您看到毛利率發生變化時,這一切都歸結為銷售組合。

  • So at a fundamental level, I feel very good about the execution of each service to their own gross margin goals.

    因此,從根本上說,我對每項服務對自己的毛利率目標的執行感覺非常好。

  • We saw improvement across every cloud service, not just Azure in terms of their ability to deliver growing gross margin as they focus not only on cost but also on continuing to see ARPU growth and attach growth.

    我們看到每項云服務都有改進,不僅僅是 Azure 提供不斷增長的毛利率的能力,因為他們不僅關注成本,還關注 ARPU 的持續增長和附加增長。

  • So -- and I could say that about many of the product lines, right?

    所以——我可以說很多產品線,對吧?

  • I focus on them at the -- what can each products line do to be its best and most competitive?

    我專注於它們——每條產品線如何才能成為最好的和最具競爭力的?

  • What you saw in H1 and what you'll see in H2 is simply mix in Q2.

    你在 H1 中看到的和在 H2 中看到的只是在 Q2 中混合。

  • There was a lot of mix into Windows away from, for example, the console, right, since we're heading into the next console cycle.

    Windows 中有很多混合,例如控制台,對,因為我們正進入下一個控制台週期。

  • At a company level, if you thought about what gross margins would have looked like without gaming, it's a couple of points of impact.

    在公司層面,如果您考慮沒有遊戲的毛利率會是什麼樣子,這是幾個影響點。

  • And as we head to H2, what you'll see is that the mix will shift a little bit.

    當我們前往 H2 時,你會看到混合會發生一點變化。

  • The sort of end of support impacts tail off, whether that's in OEM or on the server side.

    支持的結束會影響尾部,無論是在 OEM 還是在服務器端。

  • And the contribution from gaming as well as other components in our hardware portfolio go up a little bit.

    遊戲以及我們硬件組合中的其他組件的貢獻略有上升。

  • So that still does result, as you said, in a higher gross margin implication in Q3, and you'll see that continue to have a slightly different impact as we head into Q4, if that helps to give you a little sense.

    因此,正如您所說,這仍然會導致第三季度的毛利率更高,並且您會看到隨著我們進入第四季度,這將繼續產生略有不同的影響,如果這有助於給您一點感覺的話。

    而且,我想問一下——你一直在——令人難以置信的是,每個季度,你都能在 Azure 中發現毛利率的實質性提高。

  • And I guess ultimately, what I'm asking is, given the success you've seen there, has your view for -- if you look 2 to 3 years down the road, do you just think Azure is going to be a higher gross margin business than maybe what you would have thought 3 years ago?

  • Specifically on Azure, I think the Azure gross margins are trending where we thought they would trend actually on the IaaS and PaaS layer.

    特別是在 Azure 上,我認為 Azure 毛利率的趨勢是我們認為它們實際上會在 IaaS 和 PaaS 層上出現的趨勢。

  • And they're trending where we thought they would trend on the per-user-like assets.

    而且它們的趨勢是我們認為它們會在類似每個用戶的資產上趨勢的地方。

  • And what you're seeing is continued improvement on that trend line that we expected.

    你所看到的是我們預期的趨勢線的持續改善。

  • But you'll also see as we go forward in time, those improvements will flow at the IaaS and PaaS layer.

    但是隨著時間的推移,您還會看到,這些改進將流向 IaaS 和 PaaS 層。

  • It will get better but the nature and the sort of rate of improvement will flow.

    它會變得更好,但性質和改進的速度將會流動。

  • And you'll see that increasing mix toward IaaS and PaaS in a way from the per user just as in terms of the opportunity and the TAM.

    您會看到,從每個用戶角度來看,IaaS 和 PaaS 的組合越來越多,就像在機會和 TAM 方面一樣。

  • So -- and for the long run, Heather, I think my view is unchanged, frankly, about what that should look like.

    所以 - 從長遠來看,Heather,坦率地說,我認為我的觀點沒有改變,關於它應該是什麼樣子。

  • And of course, over the same time period, how it would impact commercial cloud gross margins all up.

    當然,在同一時期,它將如何影響商業雲的毛利率。

  • But what -- I think if you separate this from this gross margin implication, it goes to the fact of just how much revenue opportunity exists in cloud.

    但是,我認為,如果你將其與毛利率的影響區分開來,就會發現雲計算中存在多少收入機會。

  • And so if we can continue to capture the revenue growth, continue to meet customer needs and scenarios, pick and thoughtfully invest in industry-level solutions to grow those things, I worry less about the mechanics of the GM, which can continue to improve by service and more really about our opportunity to grow revenue.

    因此,如果我們能夠繼續抓住收入增長,繼續滿足客戶需求和場景,挑選並深思熟慮地投資於行業級解決方案來發展這些東西,我就不那麼擔心通用汽車的機制了,它可以通過以下方式繼續改進服務以及更多關於我們增加收入的機會。

  • Satya Nadella - CEO & Director

  • And I would say when we think about whether it's our R&D and operating leverage there or sales or CapEx for the cloud, we don't sort of separate out these categories of IaaS, PaaS and even SaaS.

    我想說,當我們考慮是我們的研發和運營槓桿,還是雲計算的銷售或資本支出時,我們並沒有將 IaaS、PaaS 甚至 SaaS 的這些類別分開。

  • I mean just to put it practically for you, we might do an infrastructure service around IoT.

    我的意思是,實際上,我們可能會圍繞物聯網開展基礎設施服務。

  • We then have PaaS services around IoT.

    然後,我們圍繞物聯網提供 PaaS 服務。

  • We have apps around IoT and Dynamics 365.

    我們有圍繞 IoT 和 Dynamics 365 的應用程序。

  • Similarly, we have the xCloud and Game Pass subscriptions and we have the streaming capability in Azure.

    同樣,我們擁有 xCloud 和 Game Pass 訂閱,並且在 Azure 中擁有流媒體功能。

  • So we think about our investments holistically in that sense, and I think that's what's going to define the long-term margin profile of our company is how well we manage all layers and collectively get leverage across the investment.

    因此,我們從這個意義上整體考慮我們的投資,我認為這將定義我們公司的長期利潤狀況,即我們如何管理所有層次並集體獲得整個投資的槓桿作用。

  • Teams is a scaffolding that is obviously related to messaging, which has significant usage.

    Teams 是一個明顯與消息傳遞相關的腳手架,具有重要用途。

  • It's also driving usage of the rest of office because rest of office gets integrated in the usage patterns around channels.

    這也推動了其他辦公室的使用,因為其他辦公室被整合到渠道周圍的使用模式中。

  • It's obviously used in meetings.

    它顯然用於會議。

  • It's also the place where business process workflows in context of messaging happen and both for knowledge workers and first-line workers.

    它也是發生消息傳遞上下文中的業務流程工作流的地方,對於知識工作者和一線工作者來說都是如此。
