The **operating cash flow** jumped in FY 2024 because there was a **significant increase in cash received from customers**, which contributed to a rise of **$31.0 billion** in net cash from operations to **$118.5 billion**.  **[0000950170-24-087843_msft-20240630.htm:85]** 

Why did operating cash flow jump in FY 2024?

Microsoft’s surge in capital expenditures in Q1 2025 was primarily driven by **increased investments in cloud and AI infrastructure**—with a significant allocation toward long-lived assets and servers to meet growing demand—as well as an aggressive **datacenter expansion** effort underscored by a monumental construction commitment. This surge was further supported by a **22% year-over-year increase in Microsoft Cloud revenue** (up to **$38.9 billion**), indicating rising customer demand that necessitated these additional expenditures.  **[MSFT_3404745_7]** **[0000950170-24-132722_msft-ex99_1.htm:46]** **[0000950170-24-118967_msft-20240930.htm:25]** 

What drove the surge in capital expenditures in Q1 2025?

In **Q1 2025**, the change was primarily driven by two key factors: first, **gains on equity investments** shifted from previously being losses, and second, there was a notable **increase in losses on derivatives**, particularly from equity derivatives compared to previous gains. These factors combined to result in the spike in investment-related losses.  **[0000950170-24-118967_msft-20240930.htm:31]**

Microsoft's cash and cash equivalents dropped to **$19,634 million** in Q3 2024 primarily because of significant cash used in investing and financing activities. Specifically, there was a **substantial increase of $66.5 billion** in cash used for acquisitions and purchases of intangible and other assets, as well as major cash outflows from financing activities such as dividends and share repurchases. Even though operating activities generated **$81.4 billion** in cash, these strong inflows were not enough to offset the heavy outflows, thus resulting in a notable decrease in cash and cash equivalents.  **[0000950170-24-048288_msft-20240331.htm:39]** **[0000950170-24-048268_msft-ex99_1.htm:6]** 

Why did cash and cash equivalents drop to 19,634 in Q3 2024?

In Q1 2025, **Microsoft's short-term debt decreased from $6,693 million as of June 30, 2024, to $0 as of September 30, 2024**; however, the documents do not provide specific reasons for this elimination of debt.  **[0000950170-24-118955_msft-ex99_1.htm:5]** 

What caused short-term debt to be completely eliminated by Q1 2025?

The increase to **5,248 million** in Q2 2025 was driven primarily by the reclassification of long-term debt that is maturing within the next 12 months. This reclassification recognized additional debt obligations—specifically, about **2,250 million**—that are due within the fiscal year, causing the significant rise in the current portion of long-term debt.  **[0000950170-25-010484_msft-ex99_1.htm:5]** **[0000950170-25-010491_msft-20241231.htm:3]** **[0000950170-25-010491_msft-20241231.htm:17]** 

What drove the current portion of long-term debt to rise to 5,248 in Q2 2025?

Microsoft's **total cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments nearly halved** by FY 2024 primarily due to **increased cash used in investing activities** and **changes in financing activities**. Specifically, there was a **significant increase in cash spent on acquisitions and asset purchases**—notably the Activision Blizzard acquisition—which drove cash used for investing up sharply. At the same time, **net cash from financing activities declined** due to reduced stock repurchases and shifts in how debt and dividends were managed, while the increased operating cash flow did not fully offset these outflows.  **[0000950170-24-087843_msft-20240630.htm:93]** **[0000950170-24-087835_msft-ex99_1.htm:6]** **[0000950170-24-087843_msft-20240630.htm:85]** **[0000950170-24-087843_msft-20240630.htm:94]** 

Why did total cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments nearly halve by FY 2024?
