31、r to accompanying notes.PART IItem 1 8NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Unaudited)NOTE 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIESAccounting Principles Our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States o
32、f America(“GAAP”).In the opinion of management,the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented.Interim results are not necessarily indicative of re
33、sults for a full year.The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Microsoft Corporation fiscal year 2024 Form 10-K filed with the U.S.Securities and Exchange Commission on July 30,2024.Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financia
34、l statements include the accounts of Microsoft Corporation and its subsidiaries.Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.Recast of Certain Prior Period InformationIn August 2024,we announced changes to the composition of our segments.These changes align our segments with how we cu
35、rrently manage our business,most notably bringing the commercial components of Microsoft 365 together in the Productivity and Business Processes segment.Beginning in fiscal year 2025,the information that our chief operating decision maker is regularly provided and reviews for purposes of allocating
36、resources and assessing performance reflects these segment changes.Prior period segment information has been recast to conform to the way we internally manage and monitor our business during fiscal year 2025.These changes impacted Note 8 Goodwill,Note 12 Unearned Revenue,and Note 17 Segment Informat
37、ion and Geographic Data.The recast of prior period information had no impact on our consolidated balance sheets,consolidated income statements,or consolidated cash flows statements.Estimates and Assumptions Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that aff
38、ect the reported amounts of assets,liabilities,revenue,and expenses.Examples of estimates and assumptions include:for revenue recognition,determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations,and determining the standalone selling price of performance obligations,variable cons
39、ideration,and other obligations such as product returns and refunds;loss contingencies;product warranties;the fair value of and/or potential impairment of goodwill and intangible assets for our reporting units;product life cycles;useful lives of our tangible and intangible assets;allowances for doub
40、tful accounts;the market value of,and demand for,our inventory;stock-based compensation forfeiture rates;when technological feasibility is achieved for our products;the potential outcome of uncertain tax positions that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns;and
41、determining the timing and amount of impairments for investments.Actual results and outcomes may differ from managements estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties.Financial InstrumentsInvestmentsWe consider all highly liquid interest-earning investments with a maturity of three months
42、 or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.The fair values of these investments approximate their carrying values.In general,investments with original maturities of greater than three months and remaining maturities of less than one year are classified as short-term investments.Investme
43、nts with maturities beyond one year may be classified as short-term based on their highly liquid nature and because such marketable securities represent the investment of cash that is available for current operations.PART IItem 1 9Debt investments are classified as available-for-sale and realized ga
44、ins and losses are recorded using the specific identification method.Changes in fair value,excluding credit losses and impairments,are recorded in other comprehensive income.Fair value is calculated based on publicly available market information or other estimates determined by management.If the cos
45、t of an investment exceeds its fair value,we evaluate,among other factors,general market conditions,credit quality of debt instrument issuers,and the extent to which the fair value is less than cost.To determine credit losses,we employ a systematic methodology that considers available quantitative a
46、nd qualitative evidence.In addition,we consider specific adverse conditions related to the financial health of,and business outlook for,the investee.If we have plans to sell the security or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery,then a decline in fai
47、r value below cost is recorded as an impairment charge in other income(expense),net and a new cost basis in the investment is established.If market,industry,and/or investee conditions deteriorate,we may incur future impairments.Equity investments with readily determinable fair values are measured at
48、 fair value.Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are measured using the equity method or measured at cost with adjustments for observable changes in price or impairments(referred to as the measurement alternative).We perform a qualitative assessment on a periodic basis and rec
49、ognize an impairment if there are sufficient indicators that the fair value of the investment is less than carrying value.Changes in value are recorded in other income(expense),net.Investments that are considered variable interest entities(“VIEs”)are evaluated to determine whether we are the primary
50、 beneficiary of the VIE,in which case we would be required to consolidate the entity.We evaluate whether we have(1)the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance,and(2)the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that
51、could potentially be significant to the VIE.We have determined we are not the primary beneficiary of any of our VIE investments.Therefore,our VIE investments are not consolidated and the majority are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.We have an investment in OpenAI Global,LLC(“Open
52、AI”)and have made total funding commitments of$13 billion.The investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.DerivativesDerivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value.The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative dep
53、ends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation.For derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges,gains and losses are recognized in other income(expense),net with offsetting gains and losses on the hedged items.Gains and losses representing hedge components exclude
54、d from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in other income(expense),net.For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges,gains and losses are initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income and subsequently recognized in other income(expense),net with the correspo
55、nding hedged item.Gains and losses representing hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in other income(expense),net.For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges,gains and losses from changes in fair values are primarily recognized in other incom
56、e(expense),net.Fair Value MeasurementsWe account for certain assets and liabilities at fair value.The hierarchy below lists three levels of fair value based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.We categorize each of our fair value measurements in on
57、e of these three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.These levels are:Level 1 inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.Our Level 1 investments include U.S.government securities,comm
58、on and preferred stock,and mutual funds.Our Level 1 derivative assets and liabilities include those actively traded on exchanges.PART IItem 1 10Level 2 inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets,quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are
59、 not active,and model-based valuation techniques(e.g.the Black-Scholes model)for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.Where applicable,these models project future cash f
60、lows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs including interest rate curves,credit spreads,foreign exchange rates,and forward and spot prices for currencies.Our Level 2 investments include commercial paper,certificates of deposit,U.S.agency securities,
61、foreign government bonds,mortgage-and asset-backed securities,corporate notes and bonds,and municipal securities.Our Level 2 derivative assets and liabilities include certain cleared swap contracts and over-the-counter forward,option,and swap contracts.Level 3 inputs are generally unobservable and t
62、ypically reflect managements estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques,including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models.Our Level 3 assets and liabilities include
63、investments in corporate notes and bonds,municipal securities,and goodwill and intangible assets,when they are recorded at fair value due to an impairment charge.Unobservable inputs used in the models are significant to the fair values of the assets and liabilities.We measure equity investments with
64、out readily determinable fair values on a nonrecurring basis.The fair values of these investments are determined based on valuation techniques using the best information available,and may include quoted market prices,market comparables,and discounted cash flow projections.Our other current financial
65、 assets and current financial liabilities have fair values that approximate their carrying values.Contract Balances and Other Receivables As of September 30,2024 and June 30,2024,long-term accounts receivable,net of allowance for doubtful accounts,was$4.8 billion and$4.9 billion,respectively,and is
66、included in other long-term assets in our consolidated balance sheets.As of September 30,2024 and June 30,2024,other receivables related to activities to facilitate the purchase of server components were$11.4 billion and$10.5 billion,respectively,and are included in other current assets in our conso
67、lidated balance sheets.We record financing receivables when we offer certain of our customers the option to acquire our software products and services offerings through a financing program in a limited number of countries.As of September 30,2024 and June 30,2024,our financing receivables,net were$4.
68、3 billion and$4.5 billion,respectively,for short-term and long-term financing receivables,which are included in other current assets and other long-term assets in our consolidated balance sheets.We record an allowance to cover expected losses based on troubled accounts,historical experience,and othe
69、r currently available evidence.Related Party TransactionsIn March 2024,we entered into an agreement with Inflection AI,Inc.(“Inflection”),pursuant to which we obtained a non-exclusive license to Inflections intellectual property.Reid Hoffman,a member of our Board of Directors,is a co-founder of and
70、serves on the board of directors of Inflection.As of the date of the agreement with Inflection,Reprogrammed Interchange LLC(“Reprogrammed”)and entities affiliated with Greylock Ventures(“Greylock”)each held less than a 10%equity interest in Inflection.Mr.Hoffman may be deemed to beneficially own the
71、 shares held by Reprogrammed and Greylock by virtue of his relationship with such entities.Mr.Hoffman did not participate in any portions of the meetings of our Board of Directors or any committee thereof to review and approve the transaction with Inflection.PART IItem 1 11Recent Accounting Guidance
72、Segment Reporting Improvements to Reportable Segment DisclosuresIn November 2023,the Financial Accounting Standards Board(“FASB”)issued a new standard to improve reportable segment disclosures.The guidance expands the disclosures required for reportable segments in our annual and interim consolidate
73、d financial statements,primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses.The standard will be effective for us beginning with our annual reporting for fiscal year 2025 and interim periods thereafter,with early adoption permitted.We are currently evaluating the impact of this
74、standard on our segment disclosures.Income Taxes Improvements to Income Tax DisclosuresIn December 2023,the FASB issued a new standard to improve income tax disclosures.The guidance requires disclosure of disaggregated income taxes paid,prescribes standardized categories for the components of the ef
75、fective tax rate reconciliation,and modifies other income tax-related disclosures.The standard will be effective for us beginning with our annual reporting for fiscal year 2026,with early adoption permitted.We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our income tax disclosures.NOTE 2
76、EARNINGS PER SHAREBasic earnings per share(“EPS”)is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstan

146、ease in our effective tax rate for the current quarter compared to the prior year was primarily due to tax benefits from tax law changes in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024,including the impact from the issuance of Notice 2023-55 by the Internal Revenue Service(“IRS”)and U.S.Treasury Department
147、,which delayed the effective date of final foreign tax credit regulations to fiscal year 2024 for Microsoft.Notice 2023-80,issued in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024,further delayed the effective date of final foreign tax credit regulations indefinitely.Our effective tax rate was lower than th
148、e U.S.federal statutory rate for the three months ended September 30,2024,primarily due to earnings taxed at lower rates in foreign jurisdictions resulting from producing and distributing our products and services through our foreign regional operations center in Ireland.Uncertain Tax PositionsAs of
149、 September 30,2024 and June 30,2024,unrecognized tax benefits and other income tax liabilities were$25.9 billion and$24.9 billion,respectively,and are included in long-term income taxes in our consolidated balance sheets.We remain under audit by the IRS for tax years 2014 to 2017.With respect to the
150、 audit for tax years 2004 to 2013,on September 26,2023,we received Notices of Proposed Adjustment(“NOPAs”)from the IRS.The primary issues in the NOPAs relate to intercompany transfer pricing.In the NOPAs,the IRS is seeking an additional tax payment of$28.9 billion plus penalties and interest.As of S
151、eptember 30,2024,we believe our allowances for income tax contingencies are adequate.We disagree with the proposed adjustments and will vigorously contest the NOPAs through the IRSs administrative appeals office and,if necessary,judicial proceedings.We do not expect a final resolution of these issue
152、s in the next 12 months.Based on the information currently available,we do not anticipate a significant increase or decrease to our income tax contingencies for these issues within the next 12 months.We are subject to income tax in many jurisdictions outside the U.S.Our operations in certain jurisdi

167、 District of Columbia by individual plaintiffs who allege that radio emissions from cellular handsets caused their brain tumors and other adverse health effects.We assumed responsibility for these claims in our agreement to acquire Nokias Devices and Services business and have been substituted for t
168、he Nokia defendants.Twelve of these cases were consolidated for certain pre-trial proceedings;the remaining cases are stayed.In a separate 2009 decision,the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia held that adversehealth effect claims arising from the use of cellular handsets that operate with
169、in the U.S.Federal Communications Commission radio frequency emission guidelines(“FCC Guidelines”)are pre-empted by federal law.The plaintiffs allege that their handsets either operated outside the FCC Guidelines or were manufactured before the FCC Guidelines went into effect.The lawsuits also alleg
170、e an industry-wide conspiracy to manipulate the science and testing around emission guidelines.In 2013,the defendants in the consolidated cases moved to exclude the plaintiffs expert evidence of general causation on the basis of flawed scientific methodologies.In 2014,the trial court granted in part
171、 and denied in part the defendants motion to exclude the plaintiffs general causation experts.The defendants filed an interlocutory appeal to the District of Columbia Court of Appeals challenging the standard for evaluating expert scientific evidence.In October 2016,the Court of Appeals issued its d
172、ecision adopting the standard advocated by the defendants and remanding the cases to the trial court for further proceedings under that standard.The plaintiffs have filed supplemental expert evidence,portions of which were stricken by the court.A hearing on general causation took place in September
173、of 2022.In April of 2023,the court granted defendants motion to strike the testimony of plaintiffs experts that cell phones cause brain cancer and entered an order excluding all of plaintiffs experts from testifying.The parties agreed to a stipulated dismissal of the consolidated cases to allow plai
174、ntiffs to appeal the expert testimony order.Plaintiffs appealed the courts order in August of 2023,and the parties have filed their briefs on the appeal.A hearing on the status of the stayed cases occurred in December of 2023.In July 2024,the court entered summary judgment in nine of the stayed case
175、s on the grounds that plaintiffs had agreed to be bound by the general causation outcome in the consolidated cases.Irish Data Protection Commission MatterIn 2018,the Irish Data Protection Commission(“IDPC”)began investigating a complaint against LinkedIn as to whether LinkedIns targeted advertising

229、our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30,2024,and our financial statements and the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements(Part I,Item 1 of this Form 10-Q).OVERVIEWMicrosoft is a technology company committed to making digital technology and artificial intelligence(“AI”)available
230、broadly and doing so responsibly,with a mission to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.We create platforms and tools,powered by AI,that deliver innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers.We generate revenue by offering a wide range of clo
231、ud-based solutions,content,and other services to people and businesses;licensing and supporting an array of software products;delivering relevant online advertising to a global audience;and designing and selling devices.Our most significant expenses are related to compensating employees;supporting a
232、nd investing in our cloud-based services,including datacenter operations;designing,manufacturing,marketing,and selling our other products and services;and income taxes.Highlights from the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 compared with the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 included:Microsoft Cloud r
233、evenue increased 22%to$38.9 billion.Microsoft 365 Commercial products and cloud services revenue increased 13%driven by Microsoft 365 Commercial cloud revenue growth of 15%.Microsoft 365 Consumer products and cloud services revenue increased 5%driven by Microsoft 365 Consumer cloud revenuegrowth of

235、.Xbox content and services revenue increased 61%driven by 53 points of net impact from the Activision Blizzard Inc.(“Activision Blizzard”)acquisition.The net impact reflects the change of Activision Blizzard content from third-party to first-party.Search and news advertising revenue excluding traffi
236、c acquisition costs increased 18%.PART IItem 2 32Industry TrendsOur industry is dynamic and highly competitive,with frequent changes in both technologies and business models.Each industry shift is an opportunity to conceive new products,new technologies,or new ideas that can further transform the in
237、dustry and our business.At Microsoft,we push the boundaries of what is possible through a broad range of research and development activities that seek to identify and address the changing demands of customers and users,industry trends,and competitive forces.Economic Conditions,Challenges,and RisksTh
238、e markets for software,devices,and cloud-based services are dynamic and highly competitive.Our competitors are developing new software and devices,while also deploying competing cloud-based services for consumers and businesses.The devices and form factors customers prefer evolve rapidly,influencing
239、 how users access services in the cloud and,in some cases,the users choice of which suite of cloud-based services to use.Aggregate demand for our software,services,and devices is also correlated to global macroeconomic and geopolitical factors,which remain dynamic.We must continue to evolve and adap
240、t over an extended time in pace with this changing environment.The investments we are making in cloud and AI infrastructure and devices will continue to increase our operating costs and may decrease our operating margins.We continue to identify and evaluate opportunities to expand our datacenter loc
241、ations and increase our server capacity to meet the evolving needs of our customers,particularly given the growing demand for AI services.Our datacenters depend on the availability of permitted and buildable land,predictable energy,networking supplies,and servers,including graphics processing units(
242、“GPUs”)and other components.Our devices are primarily manufactured by third-party contract manufacturers.For the majority of our products,we have the ability to use other manufacturers if a current vendor becomes unavailable or unable to meet our requirements.However,some of our products contain cer
243、tain components for which there are very few qualified suppliers.Extended disruptions at these suppliers could impact our ability to manufacture devices on time to meet consumer demand.Our success is highly dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified employees.We hire a mix of universit
244、y and industry talentworldwide.We compete for talented individuals globally by offering an exceptional working environment,broad customer reach,scale in resources,the ability to grow ones career across many different products and businesses,and competitive compensation and benefits.Our international
245、 operations provide a significant portion of our total revenue and expenses.Many of these revenue and expenses are denominated in currencies other than the U.S.dollar.As a result,changes in foreign exchange rates may significantly affect revenue and expenses.Fluctuations in the U.S.dollar relative t
246、o certain foreign currencies did not have a material impact on reported revenue and expenses from our international operations in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.Refer to Risk Factors(Part II,Item 1A of this Form 10-Q)for a discussion of these factors and other risks.SeasonalityOur revenue flu
247、ctuates quarterly and is generally higher in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year.Fourth quarter revenue is driven by a higher volume of multi-year contracts executed during the period.Reportable SegmentsWe report our financial performance based on the following segments:Productivity and Business P
248、rocesses,Intelligent Cloud,and More Personal Computing.The segment amounts included in MD&A are presented on a basis consistent with our internal management reporting.In August 2024,we announced changes to the composition of our segments.These changes align our segments with how we currently manage
249、our business,most notably bringing the commercial components of Microsoft 365 together in the Productivity and Business Processes segment.Beginning in fiscal year 2025,the information that our chief operating decision maker is regularly provided and reviews for purposes of allocating resources and a
250、ssessing performance reflects these segment changes.Prior period segment information has been recast to conform to the way we internally manage and monitor our business during fiscal year 2025.PART IItem 2 33Additional information on our reportable segments is contained in Note 17 Segment Informatio
251、n and Geographic Data of the Notes to Financial Statements(Part I,Item 1 of this Form 10-Q).MetricsWe use metrics in assessing the performance of our business and to make informed decisions regarding the allocation of resources.We disclose metrics to enable investors to evaluate progress against our
252、 ambitions,provide transparency into performance trends,and reflect the continued evolution of our products and services.Our commercial and other business metrics are fundamentally connected based on how customers use our products and services.The metrics are disclosed in the MD&A or the Notes to Fi
253、nancial Statements(Part I,Item 1 of this Form 10-Q).Financial metrics are calculated based on financial results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America(“GAAP”),and growth comparisons relate to the corresponding period of last fiscal year.I
254、n the first quarter of fiscal year 2025,we made updates to our metrics in connection with the segment changes described above.These changes align our metrics with how we manage and monitor certain businesses.The key change was bringing the commercial components of Microsoft 365 together and creating
255、 a new Microsoft 365 Commercial cloud revenue growth metric.Other changes include combining Windows OEM and Devices into a single revenue growth metric that brings revenue from PC market-driven businesses together,as well as elevating our cloud revenue growth metrics to align to our strategic focus
256、on cloud growth.CommercialOur commercial business primarily consists of Server products and cloud services,Microsoft 365 Commercial products and cloud services,the commercial portion of LinkedIn,Enterprise and partner services,and Dynamics products and cloud services.Our commercial metrics allow man

298、ter compared to the prior year was primarily due to tax benefits from tax law changes in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024,including the impact from the issuance of Notice 2023-55 by the Internal Revenue Service(“IRS”)and U.S.Treasury Department,which delayed the effective date of final foreign
299、tax credit regulations to fiscal year 2024 for Microsoft.Notice 2023-80,issued in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024,further delayed the effective date of final foreign tax credit regulations indefinitely.Our effective tax rate was lower than the U.S.federal statutory rate for the three months e
300、nded September 30,2024,primarily due to earnings taxed at lower rates in foreign jurisdictions resulting from producing and distributing our products and services through our foreign regional operations center in Ireland.The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development(“OECD”)published its
301、 model rules“Tax Challenges Arising From the Digitalisation of the Economy-Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules(Pillar Two)”which established a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15%for certain multinational enterprises.Many countries have implemented or are in the process of implementing the Pill
302、ar Two legislation,which applies to Microsoft beginning in fiscal year 2025.While we do not currently estimate a material impact to our consolidated financial statements,we continue to monitor the impact as countries implement legislation and the OECD provides additional guidance.PART IItem 2 39Unce
303、rtain Tax PositionsWe remain under audit by the IRS for tax years 2014 to 2017.With respect to the audit for tax years 2004 to 2013,on September 26,2023,we received Notices of Proposed Adjustment(“NOPAs”)from the IRS.The primary issues in the NOPAs relate to intercompany transfer pricing.In the NOPA
304、s,the IRS is seeking an additional tax payment of$28.9 billion plus penalties and interest.As of September 30,2024,we believe our allowances for income tax contingencies are adequate.We disagree with the proposed adjustments and will vigorously contest the NOPAs through the IRSs administrative appea
305、ls office and,if necessary,judicial proceedings.We do not expect a final resolution of these issues in the next 12 months.Based on the information currently available,we do not anticipate a significant increase or decrease to our income tax contingencies for these issues within the next 12 months.We
306、 are subject to income tax in many jurisdictions outside the U.S.Our operations in certain jurisdictions remain subject to examination for tax years 1996 to 2024,some of which are currently under audit by local tax authorities.The resolution of each of these audits is not expected to be material to
307、our consolidated financial statements.LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCESWe expect existing cash,cash equivalents,short-term investments,cash flows from operations,and access to capital markets to continue to be sufficient to fund our operating activities and cash commitments for investing and financing
308、 activities,such as dividends,share repurchases,debt maturities,material capital expenditures,and the transition tax related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act(“TCJA”),for at least the next 12 months and thereafter for the foreseeable future.Cash,Cash Equivalents,and InvestmentsCash,cash equivalents,and s
309、hort-term investments totaled$78.4 billion and$75.5 billion as of September 30,2024 and June 30,2024,respectively.Equity and other investments were$15.8 billion and$14.6 billion as of September 30,2024 and June 30,2024,respectively.Our short-term investments are primarily intended to facilitate liqu
310、idity and capital preservation.They consist predominantly of highly liquid investment-grade fixed-income securities,diversified among industries and individual issuers.The investments are predominantly U.S.dollar-denominated securities,but also include foreign currency-denominated securities to dive
311、rsify risk.Our fixed-income investments are exposed to interest rate risk and credit risk.The credit risk and average maturity of our fixed-income portfolio are managed to achieve economic returns that correlate to certain fixed-income indices.The settlement risk related to these investments is insi
312、gnificant given that the short-term investments held are primarily highly liquid investment-grade fixed-income securities.ValuationIn general,and where applicable,we use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities to determine the fair value of ourfinancial instruments.This p
313、ricing methodology applies to our Level 1 investments,such as U.S.government securities,common and preferred stock,and mutual funds.If quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities are not available to determine fair value,then we use quoted prices for similar assets and liabil
314、ities or inputs other than the quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly.This pricing methodology applies to our Level 2 investments,such as commercial paper,certificates of deposit,U.S.agency securities,foreign government bonds,mortgage-and asset-backed securities,corporate no
315、tes and bonds,and municipal securities.Level 3 investments are valued using internally-developed models with unobservable inputs.Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs are an immaterial portion of our portfolio.A majority of our investments are p
316、riced by pricing vendors and are generally Level 1 or Level 2 investments as these vendors either provide a quoted market price in an active market or use observable inputs for their pricing without applying significant adjustments.Broker pricing isused mainly when a quoted price is not available,th
317、e investment is not priced by our pricing vendors,or when a broker price is more reflective of fair values in the market in which the investment trades.Our broker-priced investments are generally classified as Level 2 investments because the broker prices these investments based on similar assets wi
318、thout applying significant adjustments.In addition,all our broker-priced investments have a sufficient level of trading volume to demonstrate that the fair values used are appropriate for these investments.Our fair value processes include controls that are designed to ensure appropriate fair values
319、are recorded.These controls include model validation,review of key model inputs,analysis of period-over-period fluctuations,and independent recalculation of prices where appropriate.PART IItem 2 40Cash FlowsCash from operations increased$3.6 billion to$34.2 billion for the three months ended Septemb
320、er 30,2024,primarily due to an increase in cash received from customers,offset in part by an increase in cash paid to suppliers and employees.Cash used in financing increased$31.3 billion to$16.6 billion for the three months ended September 30,2024,primarily due to a$31.0 billion increase in cash us
321、ed for repayments of debt,net of proceeds.Cash used in investing increased$15.7 billion to$15.2 billion for the three months ended September 30,2024,primarily due to a$10.1 billion decrease in cash from net investment purchases,sales,and maturities and a$5.0 billion increase in additions to property
322、 and equipment.Debt ProceedsWe issue debt to take advantage of favorable pricing and liquidity in the debt markets,reflecting our credit rating.The proceeds of these issuances were or will be used for general corporate purposes,which may include,among other things,funding for working capital,capital
323、 expenditures,repurchases of capital stock,acquisitions,and repayment of existing debt.Refer to Note 10 Debt of the Notes to Financial Statements(Part I,Item 1 of this Form 10-Q)for further discussion.Unearned RevenueUnearned revenue comprises mainly unearned revenue related to volume licensing prog
324、rams,which may include Software Assurance(“SA”)and cloud services.Unearned revenue is generally invoiced annually at the beginning of each contract period for multi-year agreements and recognized ratably over the coverage period.Unearned revenue also includes payments for other offerings for which w
325、e have been paid in advance and earn the revenue when we transfer control of the product or service.The following table outlines the expected future recognition of unearned revenue as of September 30,2024:(In millions)Three Months Ending December 31,2024$24,279 March 31,2025 16,953 June 30,2025 9,62

329、ber 30,2024,our eighth transition tax installment of$4.4 billion is short-term and payable in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026.PART IItem 2 41Share RepurchasesFor the three months ended September 30,2024 and 2023,we repurchased 7 million shares and 11 million shares of our common stock for$2.8
