In July 2013, Microsoft Corporation (the “Company”) announced a realignment of its organizational structure as part of its transformation to a devices and services company. The changes are intended to enable the Company to innovate with greater speed, efficiency and capability. As a result of these changes, information that the Company’s chief operating decision maker (its chief executive officer) regularly reviews for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance changed. Therefore, beginning in fiscal year 2014, the Company will report its financial performance based on the five reportable segments described in Exhibit 99.1 to this report, incorporated herein by reference.
This Form 8-K provides a description of the new reporting structure and a summary of the effects of these changes on Microsoft’s historical segment results. The information contained in this Form 8-K is being furnished pursuant to Regulation FD in order to provide the financial community with summary financial information and historical data that is presented on a basis consistent with the new reporting structure. Beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2013, the Company’s financial statements will reflect the new reporting structure with prior periods adjusted accordingly.
