The company experienced net income of $8.8 billion, up 34 percent from $6.6 billion during the first quarter of its fiscal year 2018.
Microsoft officials attributed the company’s revenue growth to its cloud services, with revenue from the intelligent cloud segment topping $8.5 billion, up 23 percent from $6.9 billion last year.
Revenue from the company’s other major segments — “productivity and business processes” and “personal computing” — were up 19 percent and 14 percent, respectively.
“Our record results for [the first quarter] reflect our commitment to long-term strategic investments and consistent execution to drive revenue growth and operating margin expansion,” Amy Hood, executive vice president and CFO of Microsoft, said in a news release. “We see continued demand for our cloud offerings, reflected in our commercial cloud revenue.”
