- Net income was $4.7 billion GAAP, and $6.0 billion non-GAAP
- Diluted earnings per share was $0.60 GAAP, and $0.76 non-GAAP
Further down in the report, Microsoft notes that while Windows OEM revenue was flat year-over-year, it saw phone revenue decline by a whopping 72%. Gaming revenue is also down slightly by 5% compared to the same period last year. As usual, Microsoft will be holding a conference call and webcast at 2:30 p.m. Pacific time / 5:30 p.m. Eastern time at its investor site to discuss the earnings.
