SEATTLE – Amazon’s financial results for the third quarter ended Sept. 30, 2025 are in with the Seattle-based juggernaut registering a double-digit increase in sales. Specifically net sales increased 13% to $180.2 billion in the third quarter, compared with $158.9 billion in third quarter 2024.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) segment sales increased 20% year-over-year to $33.0 billion. “We continue to see strong momentum and growth across Amazon as AI drives meaningful improvements in every corner of our business,” said Andy Jassy, president and CEO, Amazon via press release. “AWS is growing at a pace we haven’t seen since 2022, re-accelerating to 20.2% YoY. We continue to see strong demand in AI and core infrastructure, and we’ve been focused on accelerating capacity – adding more than 3.8 gigawatts in the past 12 months.
“In Stores, we continue to realize the benefits of our fulfillment network,” Jassy continues, “and we’re on track to deliver at the fastest speeds ever again this year, expand same-day delivery of perishable groceries to over 2,300 communities by end of year, and double the number of rural communities with access to Amazon’s Same-Day and Next-Day Delivery.”
Operating income was $17.4 billion in the third quarter, compared with $17.4 billion in third quarter 2024. Third quarter 2025 operating income includes two special charges—$2.5 billion related to a legal settlement with the Federal Trade Commission and $1.8 billion in estimated severance costs primarily related to planned role eliminations. Without these charges, operating income would have been $21.7 billion.
