Microsoft Corp.’s latest realignment of its financial reports made at least one thing clearer: sales for Azure cloud services.
When the software maker announced a shift to three new reporting segments last month, its disclosures about how to translate the old divisions to the new included just enough information to roughly calculate Azure’s revenue. That figure in the fiscal fourth quarter, which ended June 30, was about $400 million in sales. Rival Amazon.com Inc.’s Amazon Web Services posted $1.82 billion for the same period.
