SEGMENT RESULTS

Microsoft Business Division

Business revenue declined 4%


  • Business revenue declined 4%
  • Non-annuity declined >20% from business PC weakness
  • Annuity business grew single digits in line with expectations
  • Consumer revenue declined 34% due to prior year inventory and attach

MBD revenue decreased reflecting decreased consumer and business revenue, and included an unfavorable impact from foreign currency exchange rates of $88 million or two percentage points. Consumer revenue decreased $390 million or 34%, primarily as a result of pricing promotions in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 that drove increased licensing in that period, a shift to lower-priced products, and a decline in licensing the 2007 Microsoft Office system. Business revenue decreased $161 million or 4%, primarily reflecting a decline in licensing the 2007 Microsoft Office system to transactional business customers and a 6% decrease in Microsoft Dynamics revenue, offset in part by growth in multi-year volume licensing agreement revenue. The growth in multi-year volume licensing agreement revenue primarily reflects recognition of deferred revenue from previously signed agreements.

MBD operating income decreased due mainly to decreased revenue, offset in part by decreased sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses decreased $181 million or 18%, primarily driven by a decrease in corporate marketing activities and headcount-related costs associated with our corporate sales force.
